lyrics:

Come - listen to her story with me
In a world of opportunity
A little girl has lots to say
But everyone's so far away
Come - listen to her story with me

Her tiny life and tiny hands shake
Ashamed of her unknown mistake
A child's hopes and tears in vain
She believes she is to blame
Listen to her story with me

Chorus
"Ya Ummati (Oh, my People), answer me:
Why am I suffering this way?
Ummati, I am so afraid
Don't I have the right to learn and play?"

A silent call to you and me
Too caught up with our lives to hear or see
We will answer to Allah one day
Then what will we have to say -
For busy lives so void of mercy?

(Chorus)

Allah created beauty, innocence and peace
And He blessed us with the children to remind us all of these
Allah entrusted to us all a gift to hold so near
To teach with love - teach how to love
Allah's Command is clear

In Allah's Garden, there's a flower at play
The abandoned gift we turned away
Had we only been brave enough to hear -
Her playground prayer to our deaf ear
Her smile might not haunt us today

(Chorus

Ya Ummati, we all know the answer
The ignorance must end today
Ummati, open up your heart

Every child has the right to learn and play
Every child has the right to grow and pray

  • someone wrote something about this being fake being they contacted islamic relief or something. that is actually not true. they must have spoken to someone in the organization that we have not been in contact with (we have been in contact with dawud, naeem, and several other top people at IR). the poetic vision tour is actually doing a full fall tour sponsored islamic relief. we have already donated over 3500 and will be donating the addition 5,000 dollars and cover all views and comments.

  • I know firsthand how difficult it is to stay optimistic in times of darkness, but it sure beats the alternative. In difficult times humans have an opportunity to access their true inner self that enables them to learn and experience truth clearer than the pampered and in the process become stronger for it. The strength humans’ gain today will propel them up and beyond in the future.
