Zain Bhikha - Mum and Dad lyrics

You held my hand to steady me Till I was ready to make a stand On my own two feet While my world was crumbling down And you tried your best to shelter me From the coming of the storm You opened my eyes to see That all hope was not gone You held me in your arms And wiped away my tears Not even in a million years Can I ever repay you For what you've done for me? You were there when I felt That there was no place for me You were there to show me How to truly believe In the miracle of creation In the good and the bad Oh how I love you Mum and Dad You were there to lift me up When I was far too small To see a brighter tomorrow And face it proud and tall When my head was down you prayed for me Said I just need some time You said to spread my wings and fly Give the world of what was inside You taught me to try To do my best to inspire People of every kind That's a gift from Allah That I can never claim as mine You were there when I felt That there was no place for me You were there to show me How to truly believe In the miracle of creation Even when you're lost and scared Oh how I love you Mum and Dad Oh Allah, bless them And always keep them safe from harm Grant them places in Paradise And Your eternal Salaam You were there when I felt That there was no place for me You were there to show me How to truly believe In the miracle of creation In the good and the bad Oh how I love you Mum and Dad
