Our World [Live at the Royal Albert Hall, 2003]

Every morning on every news flash I hear the sorrow of the world It seems like everybody's lost and scared Trying to make sense of it all And as I travel to and fro So many faces pass me by I see lonely hearts living lonely lives Just biding their time And while we call ourselves civilised Many people living empty lives As they drone their way through day and night I pray for our world I pray for every child I pray for our world To be filled with smiles Like the colours of a rainbow And not just black and white I pray for our world To be filled with light I pray for all of us To choose the path that's right Believe in Allah Every day of our lives In the evening on the TV news I see images of war I see brother killing brother With no consequence at all And while those who claim to be leaders Sell us tales of deceit But Allah alone knows in their hearts What they reveal and conceal And while we call ourselves civilised We go on killing human lives Too caught up in our web of lies I pray for our world (Our world) I pray for every child (Every child) I pray for our world (Our world) To be filled with smiles Like the colours of a rainbow (Rainbow) And not just black and white (Black and white) I pray for our world (Our world) To be filled with light I pray for all of us To choose the path that's right Believe in Allah Every day of our lives Every mother Every father Every daughter, every son Don't you see, that the answer lies only with the one? I pray for our world (Our world) I pray for every child (Every child) I pray for our world (Our world) To be filled with smiles Like the colours of a rainbow (Rainbow) And not just black and white (Black and white) I pray for our world (Our world) To be filled with light I pray, I pray for for all of us (To choose the path that's right) To choose the path that's right (Believe in Allah) Believe in Allah (Every day of our lives) Every day of our lives I pray for our world
