Awaken

Ooooooooh

We were given so many prizes

We changed the desert into oases

We built buildings of different lengths and sizes

And we felt so very satisfied

We bought and bought and couldn't stop buying

We gave charity to the poor 'cause we couldn't stand their crying

We thought we'd paid our dues but in fact

To ourselves we're just lying

Oh I'm walking with my head lowered in shame for my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for my race

Yes it's easy to blame everything on the West

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame for my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for 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 bought

We went to London, Paris and Costa del Sol

We made sure we were seen in the most exclusive cafes and shops

Yes, we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power

We forgot to teach our children about history and honour

We didn't have any time to lose

When we were so busy feeling so satisfied

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame for my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for my race

Yes, it's easy to blame everything on the West

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame for my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for my race

Yes, it's easy to blame everything on the West

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became individuals without a soul

Despite the heat, our homes felt so empty and cold

We became individuals without a soul

We became individuals without a soul

To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought

Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us 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 or hide

Now ask yourself 'cause Allah is watching you

Is He satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Oh, I'm walking with my head lowered in shame for my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for my race

Yes, it's easy to blame everything on the West

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame

For my place

I'm walking with my head lowered for my race

Yes, it's easy to blame everything on the West

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
