I've Seen (Remix Abbidine) [feat. Sami Yusuf] Lyrics

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperatelyBut lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How Im missing youWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so wellI wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperatelyBut lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How Im missing youWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?Used to inspire others
With our way of thinking and speech

People came from afar
Just to hear us teachYo, what happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?Mosques are empty
Refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen, we feel secure
Cause our mansions are lockedIn my teen years
Salah wasnt really that tight
Now I gotta pray
Each one of them twiceWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?Brother, we prefer
Light skinned women
While righteously maintaining
Our deen against racismWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperatelyBut lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How Im missing youWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?Kids in Africa are starving
Cant afford to cry
Ill pay interest for a car
I cant afford to buyWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?We used to smile at each other
With faces full of light
Now we frown at each other
We bicker and we fightPops in the mosque praying
Kids in the streets hating
Kids on the corner selling
Pops in the mosque preachinWhat happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?The Quran has left out hearts stranded
Hanging on out walls, 6232 verses, so strong
9 out of 10 of us cant even read or write
1924 feels distant like way before ChristI wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperatelyBut lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How Im missing youQue le pas a la maza
Como puede ser
La grandeza conocida
No la puedo verHe visto como mi figura cae en tentacin
A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion
He pedido perdn por mis pecados
Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi ladoQue le pas a la maza
Como puede ser
La belleza conocida
No la puedo verHe sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad
Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldadQue le pas a la maza
Como puede ser
La pureza conocida
No la puedo verIf I was to fall on my knees
And ask you to forgive everything for the Lord
Out of love for the one
Oh, oh, oh, I've seenAnd if you were to fall on ya knees
And ask me the same
Brother, dont even think about it
Lets just break out of the darkness of ignoranceI wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperatelyBut lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How Im missing you
