Nasheeds > Lyrics > Zain Bhikha :: A Child's Prayer

I sometimes lie awake at night
And wonder at the stars so bright
I dream about my future too
And the things that I will do

Soon the world will count on me
I’m the future they agree
People depend on me somehow
Though small and timid, I am now

So you and I my dearest friend
Must stand together till the end
For we are one by Allah’s grace
No matter what our colour or race

We must prepare ourselves today
While we journey on our life’s way
So education we must get
From the creator to the grave

So those entrusted with our care
Train us please and do your share
We make you proud of us some how
So waste no time and teach us now

We need your love and tender care
Your sincere and arden prayer
So much to learn and see
For true believer we must be
O' Allah, We love you so
Give us health and make us grow
We with us passing day
While we will journey our life way
