Outlandish - I've Seen lyrics

(feat. Sami Yusuf) 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 pas? a la maza Como puede ser La grandeza conocida No la puedo ver He visto como mi figura cae en tentaci?n A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion He pedido perd?n por mis pecados Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi lado Que le pas? 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 pas? a la maza Como puede ser La pureza conocida No la puedo ver [Translation:] 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, lets 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 ...
