Sing Along



Deep inside the forest
Is a door into another land
Here is our life and home
We are staying, here forever
In the beauty of this place all alone
We keep on hopin'

Maybe
There's a world where we don't have to run
And maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me home
Take me home

Walkin' through the land
Where every living thing is beautiful
Why does it have to end
We are calling, oh so sadly
On the whispers of the wind
As we send, a dying message

Maybe
There's a world where we don't have to run
Maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me home
Take me home

(Maybe)
There's a world where we don't have to run
Maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me ho.

One Day at a Time - Yusuf Islam

one day at at time
we can learn to leave the past behind
one day at at time
we can look the future in the eye
one day at at time
we can learn to live
ouhou...
the gates of the garden are open
ouhou...
wide and entrusting (?-3:47)
ouhou...
seventy thousand will enter
ouhou...
of them without reckoning
one day at a time
we can learn to leave our fears behind
one day at a time
we can stare our hopes in the eye
one day at a time
we can learn to live
ouhou...
and if you meet the evening
don't wait for the sun to rise
one day at a time
we can leave all treasures behind
one day at a time
we can watch the clocks unwind
one day at a time
a child is born into this world
eyes bind
one day he will find
his sight
and glimpse another kind of light
to live by
one day
one day at a time
we can put machines behind
one day at a time
we can learn how birds survive
one day at a time
we can learn to fly

From Mountain of Light

My Peace Book:

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "You will not enter heaven until you believe; and you will not believe until you love one another. Should I not guide you to a thing that if you do it will increase love amongst you? Spread "As salam' (peace be with you)."
...
There is a prayer that the Prophet, peace be upon him, taught, "Oh Allah! Your are Peace, from You comes Peace, So help us to live in Peace, Oh owner of Majesty and Honour'.
