Wherever You Are

Tracklist + Liner Notes

1. Wherever You Are

   My best times
   Were when I felt close to you
   But everything fell apart
   The moment I strayed from you

   In each smile
   In every single sigh
   Every minute detail
   Traces of you are found there

   Wherever you are I’ll find you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you be I’ll be with you
   Cause you’re the one my heart is to
   I need you

   To see your smile
   I would pass every trial
   Desperately I await
   For the day when I’m by your side

   Wherever you are I’ll find you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you are I’ll follow you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you be I’ll be with you
   Cause you’re the one my love is to
   My love is to

   In every minute detail,
   Traces of u are found there,
   In every step that I take,
   My longing becomes so clear…
   I’ll follow you anywhere,
   I’ll overcome every fear,
   Anything just to be near, To be near.
   To be near.

   Wherever you may be
   I’ll follow till I see
   In my heart you will be
   Your love is all I need

   In every single smile
   Every single sigh
   Every minute detail
   Traces of you are there

   Wherever you may be
   I will search till we meet
   In my heart you will be
   Your love is all I need

   Wherever you may be

2. Salaam

   I dream for a day
   When there’ll be
   No more misery
   When there’s no more hunger
   No need for shelter
   Isn’t there enough to share?
   Or is that we just don’t care?
   We’re here for a day or two
   Let me show my way

   Salaamu alaik, salaamu alaik, salaamu alaikum
   Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be with you all

   I pray for a day
   When there’ll be
   Justice and unity
   When we put aside our differences
   Fighting makes no sense
   Just a little faith to make it a better place
   We’re here for a day or two
   Let me show my way

   Salaamu alaik, salaamu alaik, salaamu alaikum
   Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be with you all

   Salaamu alaikum ya ahl al-salaam
   Peace be with you, o people of peace

   Salaamu alaikum
   Peace be with you all

   Salaamu alaika sayyid al-kiram
   Peace be upon you, o master of the generous

   Salaamu alaikum
   Peace be with you all

   Let me show my way [x6]

   Salaamu alaikum, alaikum, alaikum [x6]
   Peace be with you all, peace be with you all

   Let me show my way, show my way
   Show my way, show my way

3. Without You

   Softly you called to me
   Out from the space between
   Out from eternity
   Where love winds a path unseen
   Out of the wilderness
   You beckoned my every step
   I stumbled sometimes and yet
   I never once looked back

   Cause I would see
   The man I know I used to be
   How I was lost before you reached for me
   And I don’t know
   Where I would go
   What I would do

   Without you

   Eser bir yel, dağılır sis
   Ne iz bırakır ne bir giz
   Yine o derin, dipsiz
   O şefkatle affeden

   Evvelim, şimdim, ahirim
   Benim Sevgili sahibim
   Bir okula misafirim
   Mezuniyet bekleyen

   So you might see
   Just what your love has meant to me
   And what the cost of losing you would be
   No I don’t know
   Where I would go or what I’d do

   Without you

   My heart won’t beat
   Without your love in me
   My eyes won’t see
   Beauty without thee
   Loves melody that you put in me
   Would lead me to only
   Silence without you

   Cause I would see
   The man I know I used to be
   How I was lost before you reached for me
   And I don’t know
   Where I would go
   What I would do

   Without you

4. You Came to Me (English)

   You came to me
   In that hour of need
   When I was so lost
   So lonely
   You came to me
   Took my breath away
   Showed me the right way
   The way to lead

   You filled my heart with love
   Showed me the light above
   Now all I want
   Is to be with you
   You are my one true love
   Taught me to never judge
   Now all I want
   Is to be with you

   Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa

   You came to me
   In a time of despair
   I called on you
   You were there
   Without you
   What would my life mean?
   To not know the unseen
   The worlds between

   For you I’d sacrifice
   For you I’d give my life
   Anything…
   Just to be with you
   I feel so lost at times
   By all the hurt and lies
   Now all I want
   Is to be with you

   Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa

   Showed right from wrong
   Taught me to be strong
   Need you more than ever
   Ya Rasul Allah
   You came to me
   In that hour of need
   Need you more than ever
   Ya Rasul Allah

   You filled my heart with love
   Showed me the light above
   Now all I want

   You are my One True love
   Taught me to never judge
   Now all I want
   Is to be with you

5. Give the Young a Chance

   Ours the future hold close
   For a time will come
   Deep in your heart there’s a river that flows
   All the way to Kingdom come
   Through the sandstorms where the high wind blows
   A desert rose does bloom
   Please help me…

   Give the young a chance
   Lead them in the dance
   My people
   Give the young a chance
   To change their circumstance
   And so… And so… It’s written:
   As the moon shall turn the tides
   And as the stars shall light your ride
   Don’t listen to the words of fools
   The young I know they are the jewels

   Deeds I’ve done what I’ve become
   Treasures I will find
   Nourishment I do receive
   Can’t help but believe
   The road is long I shall stay strong
   Please hear my song
   Help me…

   Give the young a chance
   Lead them in the dance
   My brothers
   Give the young a chance
   Lead them in the dance
   My sisters
   Give the young a chance
   To change their circumstance
   And so… And so… It’s written:
   As the moon shall turn the tides
   And as the stars shall light your ride
   Don’t listen to the words of fools
   The young I know they are the jewels

   Take me to gardens where
   Birds will sing lullabies
   Find me in the shade of trees
   Through gentle breeze
   Sweet scents filled the air…

   Give the young a chance
   Lead them in the dance
   My people
   Give the young a chance
   To change their circumstance
   And so… And so… It’s written:
   As the moon shall turn the tides
   And as the stars shall light your ride
   Don’t listen to the words of fools
   The young I know they are the jewels

6. Trials of Life

   My life is not the same
   When I’m too concerned by what they say
   Why should I? When I have you
   To doubt you would be the worst mistake

   Deep inside I know
   That amidst all the darkness
   And everything, which makes no sense
   I know that you exist
   You are the light
   That guides me through my darkest nights
   That shows me right from wrong in life
   In a world that often lies

   Cause I don’t need anyone
   Nor anything in life
   But You
   No I don’t need anyone
   To show me my way
   No I don’t need anyone
   But You

   Trials of life upon me
   Are more precious than diamonds and gold
   Tested with fire I may be
   But I know I’ll come out stronger in this world

   Deep inside I know
   That amidst all the darkness
   And everything, which makes no sense
   I know that you exist
   You are the light
   That guides me through my darkest nights
   That shows me right from wrong in life
   In a world that often lies

   Cause I don’t need anyone
   Nor anything in life
   But You
   No I don’t need anyone
   To show me my way
   No I don’t need anyone
   But You

   I only want the things
   You know is best for me
   I’d gladly sacrifice
   If that’s what you decree
   I would break and
   Mourn in eternity
   Perish into the sea
   If that’s what you want for me

7. Worry Ends

   Don’t be saddened by what you see
   By all the lies and treachery
   Life is cruel but don’t worry
   In your heart lies the key
   To unwind all the secrets
   Of this life we see

   When you feel you’ve lost it all
   When you don’t know who’s your friend or foe
   You wonder why you’re so alone
   Worry ends when faith begins
   Don’t be sad by what you see
   It’s true life has its miseries
   But one thing’s always worked for me
   Worry ends when faith begins

   Don’t be saddened by what you see
   I know life can be crazy
   A showcase of hypocrisy
   In the form of piety
   It’s just one big mystery
   For you and me

   I found my peace deep within
   Calling inside
   Follow what you feel is right
   So trust your heart go ahead
   Don’t lose sight
   Follow that voice deep inside

   When you feel you’ve lost it all
   When you don’t know who’s your friend or foe
   You wonder what you’re so alone
   Worry ends when faith begins

   Don’t be sad by what you see
   It’s true life has it’s miseries
   But one thing’s always worked for me
   Worry ends when faith begins

   If you’re weak it’s not a crime
   Don’t you know it’s blessing in disguise
   To know who’s honest and who spread lies
   Worry ends when faith begins

   Don’t be sad by what you see
   It’s true life has it’s miseries
   But one thing’s always worked for me
   Worry ends when faith begins

8. Fragile World

   I know that I’m not alone
   What I’ve seen, has been seen before
   But it hurts just like a thorn
   A pain I’ve never felt before
   My heart says: “Just speak the truth”
   But my mind says: “Don’t be a fool”
   Need to get something off my mind
   Don’t let this silence be misunderstood

   I don’t know where my heart will take me
   But I know your light will protect me
   From this fragile world
   I don’t know where I’m destined to be
   Rich or poor, famous, loved or lonely
   But I know, without your light I’ll never cope
   In this fragile world

   Did you think you can silence me?
   With your lies, games and deceit?
   You can continue robbing me
   But you won’t rob my dignity
   I know that life is just a game
   An illusion that will fade
   Cheat and lie, have it your way
   But you can’t cheat death, no way

   I don’t know where my heart will take me
   But I know your light will protect me
   From this fragile world
   I don’t know where I’m destined to be
   Rich or poor, famous, loved or lonely
   But I know, without your light, I’ll never cope
   In this fragile world

   Life’s just a game
   An illusion that will fade
   Cheat and lie have it your way
   But you can’t cheat death, no way

   I don’t know where my heart will take me
   But I know your light will protect me
   From this fragile world
   I don’t know where I’m destined to be
   Rich or poor, famous, loved or lonely
   But I know, without your light I’ll never cope
   In this fragile world

9. In Every Tear, He Is There

   Some might say this world today shows
   God’s left us to our mistakes oh
   He has never been
   So far away
   Some might say
   How could any father stand
   See his children across many lands
   Suffer so and give no helping hand
   No helping hand

   Somewhere tonight
   Far away and out of sight
   There’s a child that’s too weak to cry
   Hmmm
   Deep in those eyes
   Can’t you see him in disguise
   Reaching out to the heart that’s in you
   And I

   In every tear
   That is where
   He is there

   He’s the hand that wipes that brow
   He’s the tear that trickles down
   Upon the face that cries without a sound
   We need you now
   What a simple choice to make
   Between what you give and what you take
   When what you give
   Such precious life could save, life could save

   Somewhere inside
   There’s a part of you that asks why
   Would he leave so many so far behind
   And deep in those eyes
   Can’t you see Him in disguise
   Reaching out to the heart that’s in you
   And I…

10. Make Me Strong

    I know I’m waiting
    Waiting for something
    Something to happen to me
    But this waiting comes with
    Trials and challenges
    Nothing in life is free
    I wish that somehow
    You’d tell me out aloud
    That on that day I’ll be ok
    But we’ll never know cause
    That’s not the way it works
    Help me find my way

    My Lord show me right from wrong
    Give me light make me strong
    I know the road is long
    Make me strong
    Sometimes it just gets too much
    I feel that I’ve lost touch
    I know the road is long
    Make me strong

    I know I’m waiting
    Yearning for something
    Something known only to me
    This waiting comes with
    Trials and challenges
    Life is one mystery
    I wish that somehow
    You’d tell me out aloud
    That on that day you’ll forgive me
    But we’ll never know cause
    That’s not the way it works
    I beg for your mercy

    My Lord show me right from wrong
    Give me light make me strong
    I know the road is long
    Make me strong
    Sometimes it just gets too much
    I feel that I’ve lost touch
    I know the road is long
    Make me strong

11. No Word Is Worthy

    (ENGLISH)
    Searched for the words
    To describe your beauty
    No matter how I tried
    No word seemed worthy
    Struggled to find
    The right words for You
    Words just fail to describe
    What’s deep inside

12. Healing

    It’s so hard to explain
    What I’m feeling
    But I guess it’s ok
    Cause I’ll keep believing
    There’s something deep inside
    Something that’s calling
    It’s calling you and I
    It’s taking us up high

    Healing, a simple act of kindness bring such meaning
    A smile can change a life let’s start believing
    And feeling, let’s start healing

    Heal and you will be healed
    Break every border
    Give and you will receive
    It’s nature’s order
    There is a hidden force
    Pulling us closer
    It’s pulling you and I
    It’s pulling us up high to…

    Healing, a simple act of kindness brings such meaning
    A smile can change a life lets start believing
    And feeling, let’s start healing

    Hearts in the hand of another heart and in God’s hand are all hearts
    An eye takes care of another eye and from God’s eye nothing hides
    Seek only to give and you’ll receive
    So, heal and you will be healed
