Barzakh Garden

[Verse 1] She woke with a stone in her chest Like she lost what she never could name In the mirror, she searched for a face But the answer kept fading away Every day felt like waiting for someone Every road felt half-made, half-prayed And the people around her looked burdened Like they carried a season of rain [Pre-Chorus] So she walked through the hush of her questions Through the dusk where her fears liked to stay And the names in her heart kept on calling But they slipped like the smoke of the day [Chorus] Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone Allah knows the shape of my longing Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone And He holds what my soul has been asking Oh, give me light Oh, give me light [Verse 2] She dreamt of barzakh in silver Of the dead meeting dead in the night Of a procession of faces in mourning And a funeral folded in white It was heavy, it was deep, it was endless Like a tide in a room without sound And her heart, like a bird with wet feathers Kept circling where answers go down [Pre-Chorus] Then she opened the pages before dawn And the sky made a doorway of gold Isra and Mi'raj in her breathing Like a hand on the trembling cold [Chorus] Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone Allah knows the shape of my longing Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone And He holds what my soul has been asking Oh, give me light Oh, give me light [Bridge] If I'm still unsure, let me be still If I'm still in pieces, let me kneel There is mercy above every question There is wisdom in what we can’t feel And if grief has been living inside me Like a shadow I cannot outrun Then I trust the One who sees through me To reveal what was hidden all along [Final Chorus] Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone Allah knows the shape of my longing Maybe there was someone Maybe there was someone And He holds what my soul has been asking Oh, give me light Oh, give me light Oh, give me light
