MP3 ♫ (feel free to share it with others)
Sun on the water, laughter in the breeze
Festival of lights, happy families
Shots rang out, hearts froze in place
Names wiped out, dreams vanish without trace
I stand with the mothers, the fathers, the friends
With candles and prayers that never quite end
Grief got no language, no colour, no creed
Just a wound in the world, and a world that still bleeds
What happened at Bondi,
ain't gonna break the bond that I
have with humanity so I know I
can make a difference, if I try
I bow my head in sorrow, not in blame
Faith taught me mercy, never taught me pain
No scripture ever whispered pull the trigger
No prayer ever made a life worth less or bigger
If you looking for Islam, look at hands that heal
We all one big fam, look at love that's real
We are more than headlines, more than rage
More than one dark moment on the page.
What happened at Bondi
ain't gonna break the bond that I
have with humanity so I know I
can make a difference, if I try
I was taught if you save one life, just one soul
You save the world, that's a true Muslim's goal
That’s not metaphor, that’s a way to live
Every chance to protect, every reason to give
I saw it in a fruit seller planting seeds with his hand
Running toward danger when fear said “stand”
No cameras needed, no flag unfurled
Just instinct told him every life is the world
What happened at Bondi
ain't gonna break the bond that I
have with humanity so I know I
can make a difference, if I try
Hope survives 'cause divided we all lose
We gotta stand together, not pick and choose
I am Muslim, yeah, and proudly so
But first I am human, and I want you to know
Life is sacred, yours, theirs and mine
When one of us falls, we all cross that line
From Gaza's streets to Sydney's east side
Same tears fall, the same mothers cried
What happened at Bondi
ain't gonna break the bond that I
have with humanity so I know I
can make a difference, if I try!
If love is quiet, let us speak it loud
If hate stands tall, let us not bow
Yeah, let this song be heard
Yeah, every life is the world
