Outlandish, Sami Yusuf - I've Seen lyrics

I wish you were here here next to me
Been missing you so so desperately
But lately I feel like you feel and
I see what you see how I'm missing you

What happened to the ummah
Once known so well i wish you were here
Here next to me been missing you so
So desperately but lately I feel
Like you feel and i see what you see
How I'm missing you

What happened to the ummah
Once known so well greatness was known
But now can u tell
Used to inspire others with our
Way of thinking and speech
People came from afar just to hear us teach
Yo what happened to the ummah
Once known so well greatness was known
But now can u tell


Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen we feel secure
Cause our mansions are locked
In my teen years salah
Wasn't really that tight
Now I gotta pray each one of them twice
What happened to the ummah
Once known so well greatness was known
But now can u tell
Brother we prefer light skinned women
While righteously maintaining our
Deen against racism
What happened to the ummah
Once known so well greatness was known
But now can u tell i wish you were here
Here next to me been missing you so
So desperately but lately I feel
Like you feel and i see what you see
How I'm missing you

What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known, but now can u tell
Kids in Africa are starving -
Can't afford to cry
I'll pay interest for a car
I can't afford to buy
What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known, but now can u tell?
We used to smile at each other
With faces full of light
Now we frown at each other
We bicker and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying
Kids in the streets hating
Kids on the corner selling
Pops in the mosque preachin'
What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known but now can u tell?
The Quran has left out hearts stranded
Hanging on out walls 6232verses, so strong
9 out of 10 of us can't even read or write
1924 feels distant like way before Christ
I wish you were here here next to me
Been missing you so so desperately
But lately I feel like you feel and
I see what you see how I'm missing you

Que le pasó a la maza como puede ser
La grandeza conocida no la puedo ver
He visto como mi figura cae en tentación
A pesar de que la vida a
Sido buena con luz e ilusion
He pedido perdón por mis pecados
Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y
El diablo a mi lado que le pasó a la maza
Como puede ser la belleza conocida
No la puedo ver
He sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad
Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldad
Que le pasó a la maza como puede ser
La pureza conocida no la puedo ver

What happened to the people how can it be
Greatness was known but now can you tell
I've watched myself fall from grace
Even though life has been good
Filled with hopes and dreams
I've asked forgiveness for my sins
I have the cross above my bed
And the devil by my side
What happened to the people how can it be
Beauty was known but now can you tell

If I was to fall on my knees and ask you
To forgive everything for the
Lord, out of Love, for the One
Oh oh oh i've seen
And if u were to fall on ya
Knees and ask me the same
Brother, don't even think about it
Let's just break out of
The darkness of ignorance

I wish you were here here next to me
Been missing you so so desperately
But lately I feel like you feel and
I see what you see how I'm missing you
