Dawud Wharnsby Ali - Sunshine Dust and the Messenger


Morning light through the bedroom window
Slow motion dust specks swirling in the sun
I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
Sun did you warm the face of the Prophet
The way you warm mine, and make this room glow.
Dust were you brushed from the beard of the Prophet,
Coming from Jihad so long ago.

CHORUS:
Allah humma Salli Ala Muhammad
Ya Rabbal Alameen
Allah humma Salli Ala Muhammad
Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam

Rain pouring down upon my garden.
Rhythm of the rain that sings its song.
I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
Rhythm of rain were you once a river,
That purified the Prophet before his prayers.
Were you the same breath from the lips of the Prophet,
Carrying wisdom to thirsty ears?

CHORUS

Sharp clear crescent, lighting the blue night
Slipping in silence through the star scattered sky
I close my eyes, and I know that I belong.
Were you the same moon who lit the way of the Prophet,
Slipping through the desert on his Hijrah.
Stars did you map the way to Madinah
For the blessed Messenger of Allah?

CHORUS

And I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
And I close my eyes, and I’m drumming along.
And I close my eyes, and I know that I belong.
THE BLUE SKY IS BLUE

CHORUS:
The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,
But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.
And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,
We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

I don’t want to be a grown-up like the grown-ups I have seen,
Because the grown-ups I have seen don’t seem to have much fun.
They don’t get down on the floor enough to pray or play with toys,
When I’m a grown-up I won’t want to be one.

Now if I lived back at the time of the Prophet,
I know that he would be different; I just know he’d find the time.
And I would make him something special like some paper planes or something,
I could race those planes with him or get a camel back ride.
