Outlandish & Sami Yusuf " Try Not To Cry" 4 Children of Adam.

Tonight, this morning to be precise, I heart this song. Never has a song touched me so deeply. The singer, Sami Yusuf is reaching out to us to act against the opressors and changing their wrongs be it with the might of our hands, or our tongue, and still less, through our prayers. Captions of the oppressed children of Adam in the hunger-stricken countries in Africa, the sex slave girls of Asia, the killing of the youngs in Palestine had never been better described through the song.

I played and replayed the song repeatedly. FEEL IT , ALL!

FOR ALL CHILDREN OPPRESSED,
FORGOTTEN, CAN'T AFFORD TO CRY..
TRY NOT TO CRY
YOU'RE NOT AWARE
THAT WE'RE AWARE,
OF YOUR DESPAIR

DON'T SHOW YOUR TEARS TO YOUR OPRESSOR
TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE
YOU'RE NOT ALONE, ILL STAND BY YOU
TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE
MY HEART IS YOUR STONE
I'LL THROW WITH YOU.

'AYN JALUT WHERE DAVID SLEW GOLIATH,
THIS VERY SAME PLACE THAT WE BE AT,
PASSING THROUGH THE SANDS OF TIMES,
THIS LAND'S BEEN THE VICTIM OF COUNTLESS CRIMES,
FROM CRUSDAER AND MONGOLS TO THE PRESENT AGGRESSION
THEN THE FRANKS, EVEN A CRUELLER OPPRESSION.

IF THESE WALLS COULD SPEAK, IMAGINE WHAT WOULD THEY SAY,
FOR ME IN THIS PATH THAT I WALK ON, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY.
BULLETS MAY KILL, BONES MAY BREAK,

STILL I THROW STONES LIKE DAVID BEFORE ME AND I SAY,
TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE ,
YOU'RE NOT ALONE...ILL STAND BY YOU.

TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE
MY HEART IS YOUR STONE, I'LL THROW WITH YOU.

DON'T CRY, DON'T LOSE FAITH
THE ONE WHO MADE WATER COME OUT OF THE SAND IS THE ONE WHO QUENCHES THE THIRST.
AND YOU WHO RISE PROUD FROM BETWEEN THE STONES HAVE MADE OCEANS FROM THIS DUST.

I THROW STONES AT MY EYES 'CAUSE FOR WAY TO LONG THEY'VE BEEN DRY
PLUS THEY SEE WHAT THEY SHOULN'T FROM OPPRESSED BABIES TO THIGHS.

I THROW STONES AT MY TONGUE ,'CAUSE IT SHOULD REALLY KEEP ITS PEACE,
I THROW STONES AT MY FEET 'CAUSE THEY TRY AND LEAD TO DEFEAT,

I THROW A COUPLE OF BIG ONES AT MY HEART ,CAUSE THE THING IS FREEZING COLD,
BUT MY NAFS IS TILL ALIVE AND KICKING UNSTOPPABLE AND ON A ROLL,

I THROW BRICKS AT THE DEVIL SO I'LL BE SURE TO HIT HIM
BUT FIRST AT THE MAN IN THE MIRROR SO I CAN CHASE OUT THE VENOM.

HMM, A LITTLE BOY SHOT IN THE HEAD
JUST ANOTHER KID SENT OUT TO GET SOME BREAD,

NOT THE FIRST MURDER NOT THE LAST
AGAIN AND AGAIN A REPETITION OF THE PAST,

SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY, SAME STORY
YOUNG ONES, OLD ONES, SOME GLORY,
HOW CAN IT BE.
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD TURNED BLIND?
OR IS IT JUST 'CAUSE IT'S ONLY AFFECTING MY KIND?!

IF THESE WALLS COULD SPEAK,
IMAGINE WHAT WOUL THEY SAY
FOR ME IN THIS PATH THAT I WALK ON
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY,

BULLETS MAY KILL, BONES MAY BREAK
STILL I THROW STONES LIKE DAVID BEFORE ME AND I SAY

BULLETS MAY KILL, BONES MAY BREAK
STILL I THROW STONES LIKE DAVID BEFFORE ME AND I SAY

TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE
YOU'RE NOT ALONE,I'LL STAND BY YOU
TRY NOT TO CRY LITTLE ONE,
MY HEART IS YOUR STONE
I'LL THROW WITH YOU.
I'LL STAND BY YOU,
I'LL THROW WITH YOU.
I'LL STAND BY YOU
I'LL THROW WITH YOU,
I'LL STAND BY YOU....

" If anyone sees a wrong let him change it with his hands,
...if he cannot let him change it with his voice,
if he cannot let him hate it (the wrong)in his heart,
and beyond that there is no faith" ~ Muhammad , peace be upon him
