Zain Bhikha - The Journey Lyrics

All across
Ocean and land
Incumbent on all man
Is the pilgrimage to Mecca

Fifth pillar of Islam
In the footsteps of Muhammed
The last prophet of Allah

Bow Down (Bow down)
Bow down and praise Allah (Praise Allah)
First sight (First sight)
First sight of the Ka'bah (The Ka'bah)
(Break down)
Break down
Break down and praise Allah (Praise)

The path
This journey from afar
To the city of Makkah
To strengthen what we believe in

The voyage we undertake
Hear the echo in the wind
Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik

Bow Down
Bow down and praise Allah
First sight
First sight of the Ka'bah
Break down
Break down and praise Allah

Ismaeel
Son of Ibraheem
Lay on the burning sand
With his mother running frantically
Between Safa and Marwa
From the sky came Angel Jibraeel
Brought a blessing from Allah

Bow Down
Bow down and praise Allah
First sight
First sight of the Ka'bah
(Break down)
Break down
Break down and praise Allah (Praise)

It isn't always easy
There is so much we don't know
So many people in this world
Just don't know which way to go

But if our faith prevails (But if our faith prevails)
We'll always do our very best (We'll always do our best)
To have the strongest conviction
And survive the greatest test

Oh, here we are (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Leaving Mina (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Conviction in our hearts (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Crying out to the heavens (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
On the plains of Arafah (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Standing proud beside my brother
Silent at Muzdalifah

(Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
(Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
(Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
(Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)

Bow Down (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Bow down and praise Allah (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
First sight (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
First sight of the Ka'bah (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Bow down (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Bow down and praise Allah (Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik)
Makkah Makkah Mukaramah

Break down
Break down and praise Allah
