Waiting For You
Mehdi, mehdi, mehdi
(Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you) x4
1. Our lives are dark and our hearts are broken
Now is the time for your intervention
there are no choices left there is no option
there is no hope left you are the chosen
our souls are dying whilst we are still alive
how can we go on, how can we now survive
we’re waiting for that, time when you will arrive
so that religion and faith can be revived
The worlds become false, come and make it true,
oh mehdi we re waiting for you
(Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you) x4
2. The poor are dying their tears are flowing
They have lost everything their fears are growing
The world is standing by though it is knowing
The persecution that they are facing
Wherever we look there is just bloodshed
There is no love left not even a shred
Now all around the world, the evil has spread
Though hearts are beating, inside they are dead
There’s no sincerity, the good are but a few,
oh mehdi we’re waiting for you
(Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you) x4
3. We’ve lost our way Like, a boat without a sail
The smallest winds make, this faith of ours sway
Our sins are countless, we’re filled up with hate
There is no honesty, no love to convey
How can we say that for you we’re ready
We’ve lost perspective of all reality
The essence of life we’ve failed to see
We’re not content we’ve succumbed to our greed
Our faith is losing out, what shall we now do,
oh mehdi we re waiting for you
(Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you) x4
The times befalling, the lovers of Hussain
Are unprecedented, we’re facing so much pain
So many massacres from place to place
The streets of Pakistan, the roads of Bahrain
The world is crying out for you to bring peace
Avenge the genocides, through your justice
And rid this universe of evil and sin
Allow us to be the ones within your midst
This world has lost love, is hurtful and cruel
Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you,
(Oh mehdi we’re waiting for you) x4
I think about you everyday
I sit alone, close my eyes and pray
How long’s this gonna take Imam, How long do we have to wait?
Shias dying in Pakistan
Iraq and Afghanistan
Children in Syria and Bahrain
Being massacred day after day after day after day
Oh imam we need your reappearance
We’re crying for help maybe you can’t hear us
I know inside that my soul ain’t pure,
I’ve wronged myself, I’m tryn’a find a cure
One day I wanna be your soldier,
My heart keeps growing colder
Every time I get a step closer
There’s another barrier,
I fall, I fall so I need you as the carrier
Where are you? We need your guidance
Your lovers are dying at the hands of tyrants
Soldiers bursting into their rooms pulling the trigger
Making all of our lives problems even bigger
Why? Because we love the Ahlulbayt
We follow their path regardless of our fate
We need your help! Its not insanity
It’s a plea from all of humanity
You’re gonna come down like a charm
Paradise in your palm
Standing arm in arm
With the purest hearts
You’ll bring about calm
Save our souls from harm
There’ll be no more alarm
As the world will disarm
Because
This is the dream that’ll make me
God won’t forsake me
The devil won’t break me
His words won’t shake me
When you will awake me
Your light will save me
The evil will hate me
This world won’t take me
InshAllah I will join your army, InshaAllah
My will is strong no one will harm me, InshaAllah
Oh Imam I will stand by your side and rise up to reveal the truth
Whether you’re are the highest peaks or in the deepest valleys
You won’t need to find me because I will come looking for you
