This video is fantastic, it does such a great job at breaking down so many of the stereotypes that surround Muslims today.
I've been a fan of Kareem Salama for some time now. His songs are very inspirational... Browsing through YouTube I came across this video for one of his songs... "A Land Called Paradise"
I really love the "I love Jesus" t-shirt.... Its so true- Muslims do love Jesus, he is such a great Prophet....
I wanna go to the valley of the King
I wanna live in a land called paradise
Wanna see the birds fly and I wanna hear the angels
Sing the praises of my Lord so far above
As I move poetically with the struggle I fall in love
I look to the left I look to the right and all I gaze upon
Reveals the source of flowers rainbows and the dew at dawn
Some see before and some see in and some see after
I let my sight pierce the chains and see the master
(Chorus)
I wanna live in a land called paradiseI wanna go to the Valley of the King
I wanna live in a land called paradise
Wanna see the birds fly and I wanna hear the angels sing
So many times in my life I ask myself the question
What got me brought me into all this mess I’m swimming in
But pain is not and neither harm in the pool of bliss
So slap me with your hand or kiss me with your softest kiss
Tell me that you love me or that you don’t like me now
Tell me you invite me or that you don’t want me around
I won’t cry over a world that can’t change my life
I’ll put my money on what lies ahead in paradise
(Chorus)
I wanna live in a land called paradise
I wanna go to the Valley of the King
I wanna live in a land called paradise
Wanna see the birds fly and I wanna hear the angels sing
I try to do right and love my wife and trade and pray and talk
I can be anywhere doing anything and I’m mindful of God
I’m pleased in good and happy in harm and now I realize that I already live in a land called paradise
(Chorus)
I wanna live in a land called paradise
I wanna go to the valley of the king
I wanna live in a land called paradise
Wanna see the birds fly and I wanna hear the angels
I wanna live in a land called paradise
I wanna go to the valley of the king
I wanna live in a land called paradise
Wanna see the birds fly and I wanna hear the angels sing
The words of this song are really fantastic... It reminds me of quite a few of my newly married friends and how they are settling into their new life.
Arguments, disagreements etc. are all part of life & relationships. Sometimes its always better to just take a step back and remember:
"This could be the final hour, or this could be the finest hour."
We have no guarantees of what may lay ahead, its always best to make the most of what we have right now. Live in the moment! Enjoy each others company as though it may be the last time you're together.... Be thankful for each and every moment you have...
Next time you get into an argument, just remember the lyrics below as you take the last sip of your cold tea...
He said, “There’s nothing more to say.”
then lectured on for another hour.
She said, everything was fine.
She said, she didn’t like to whine,
then cried on for another hour.
They sat there screaming through the room was silent.
They sat so still though the scene was violent.
And words can never really help you say,
what you want them to anyway.
And words can never really help you see,
what you really want to be.
He took a last sip of cold tea.
Last chance to stop all these lies.
Last chance to clean up these lives.
This could be the final hour.
This could be the final hour, or
this could be the finest hour.
And words can never really help you say
what you want them to anyway.
And words can never really help you see,
what you really want to be.
He took a last sip of cold tea."
