I would ride my bike down the country lanes
over hills and valleys then back again
and paddle in a crystal stream
catch fish with my net and dream
that one day I would catch a fish so fine
and bring it home so we might dine.
But, in those days I didn't know how to pray
and never thanked Allah for those lovely days.
I did not know there was more to life than this
and never knew what I had missed.
But as I grew Allah guided me
and my heart is much happier now
for now I stand in worship to praise Him
over hills and valleys then back again
and paddle in a crystal stream
catch fish with my net and dream
that one day I would catch a fish so fine
and bring it home so we might dine.
But, in those days I didn't know how to pray
and never thanked Allah for those lovely days.
I did not know there was more to life than this
and never knew what I had missed.
But as I grew Allah guided me
and my heart is much happier now
for now I stand in worship to praise Him
