Maher Zain - Awaken

We were given so many prizes 
We changed the desert into oasis
 
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
 
And we felt so very satisfied
 
We bought and bought
 
We couldn't stop buying
 
We gave charity to the poor 'cause
 
We couldn't stand their crying
 
We thought we paid our dues
 
But in fact
 
To ourselves we're just lying
 

Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
 
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
 
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
 
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
 

We were told what to buy and we'd bought
 
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
 
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
 
Yes we felt so very satisfied
 

We felt our money gave us infinite power
 

We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
 
We didn't have any time to lose
 
When we were.. (were)
 
So busy feeling so satisfied
 

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
 
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
 
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
 
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
 

We became the visuals without a soul
 
despite the heat
 
Our homes felt so empty and cold
 
To fill the emptiness
 
We bought and bought
 
Maybe all the fancy cars
 
And bling will make us feel satisfied
 

My dear brother and sister
 
It's time to change inside
 
Open your eyes
 
Don't throw away what's right aside
 
Before the day comes
 
When there's nowhere to run and hide
 
Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you
 

Is He satisfied?
 
Is Allah satisfied?
 
Is Allah satisfied?
 
Is Allah satisfied?
 

Oh..I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
 
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
 
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
 
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
