We were given so many prizes

We changed the desert into oasis

We built buildings of different lengths and sizes

And we felt so very satisfied

We bought and bought

We couldn't stop buying

We gave charity to the poor 'cause

We couldn't stand their crying

We thought we paid our dues

But in fact

To ourselves we're just lying

Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I'm walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we'd bought

We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol

We made show we were seen in the most exclusive shops

Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power

We forgot to teach our children about history and honor

We didn't have any time to lose

When we were.. (were)

So busy feeling so satisfied

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I'm walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul

despite the heat

Our homes felt so empty and cold

To fill the emptiness

We bought and bought

Maybe all the fancy cars

And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister

It's time to change inside

Open your eyes

Don't throw away what's right aside

Before the day comes

When there's nowhere to run and hide

Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you

Is He satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Oh..I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I'm walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

I like the way he pronounced 'Open'...your eyes

p.s: Whenever I turned on Maher Zain's song in the car Suzana started teasing me with her 'kurang asam' words "P, you know what?! Your music interest contradicts with your style and started laughing..ROFL *You're so evil fren!!! Like I care..Maher Zain you're still No.1..muaahhh* Hmm..maybe the aging factor;-)
