Come listen to her story with me In a world of opportunity A little girl has lots to say, but everyone so far away Listen to her story with me Her tiny life and tiny hands shake Ashamed of her unknown mistaken A child talks and tears in vain She believes she is to blame Listen to her story with me Ummati answer me Why am I suffering this way? Ummati I am so afraid Don't I have the right to learn and play? A silent call to you and me To caught up with our lives to hear or see We will answer to Allah one day Then what will we have to say? For busy lives so void of mercy Allah created beauty Inner sense of peace And blessed all the children to remind us all of these Allah entrusted to us all Gifts to hold so near To teach with love Teach how to love Allah's command is clear In Allah's garden there's a flower at play The abandoned gift we've turned away Had we only been brave enough to hear, Her playground prayer to our deaf Ears, her smile... haunts us today
