Towards Unity

I can’t escape, its everywhere I go

In the news in the paper, in all that I know

From state to state, shore to shore

Plagued to the heart, down to the core

Undivided and conquered we’re all torn apart

This is coming from inside, straight from my heart

This is all I’m thinking, day and night

We seem to think we’re always right

When I go to the Masjid, I don’t know who’s leading

Who’s sitting by my side, I don’t know who’s praying

Do I give salaam, do I bother to care

I looked at him, all I got was a stare

At the end of the day there’s one way to go

There’s one way to see, one way to show

As bright as the sun, vast as the sea

To be one unit, one family

Flow of a river, one current

The walk of a march, one movement

Oh brother or sister, I see you, you see me

Together in one cause, one final destiny

Together we rise, together we fall

Hands together forever standing tall

I once had a dream it seemed so real

Changed the way I thought, the way I feel

I saw a brother, I never met before

We arrived at the Masjid, he opened the door

He gave me salaam and hugged me like a brother

It made me tear, like none other

What was wrong he asked of me

His kindness made me, so happy

His words stayed with me for so long

Running in my head, on and on

We’re all equal to Allah

Five times a day, we pray Salah

From He we came, to Him we shall return

To unify should be our only concern

A single stick will break so easily

But a bundle sticks, will never be

At the end of the day there’s one way to go

There’s one way to see, one way to show

As bright as the sun, vast as the sea

To be one unit, one family

Flow of a river, one current

The walk of a march, one movement

Oh brother or sister, I see you, you see me

Together in one cause, one final destiny

Together we rise, together we fall

Hands together forever standing tall

What was in my dream, I wish was true

A world where no differences, between me and you

Foot to foot, in a straight line we pray

Forgive our egos that get in the way

Piety and humbleness we need to learn

And let our arrogance, just let it burn

Take a look around, shake a hand

Spread the salaam, to every man

As small as a smile, it can be charity

The best are small deeds, made consistently

I plead with you all, forgive me

Let’s try to live, to live in unity
