Summayah In The Sand

[Verse 1] In the middle of the desert, I found my name On the tongue of Muhammad, beloved, like flame He called me to the One above the sand And my heart fell open in His hand [Verse 2] Then the news ran home like a blade of sound To my master’s ears, and the threats came down They said, "Let it go, or your blood will pay" And my family cried in the blinding day [Pre-Chorus] I heard the fear in my mother’s cry (please, please) I heard the dust in my brother’s eyes But the Truth came near, and my soul stood still A treasure was placed in me by His will [Chorus] Tauhid is my treasure Tauhid, I won’t let go Tauhid in the burning Tauhid, my heart knows (Allah) I will not break (Allah) I will not fall Even chained in the fire I belong to the One above all [Verse 3] They tied my hands in the sun so hot My skin burned white where the iron caught Chains kissed my wrist, and the sand burned red But mercy sang louder in my head [Verse 4] My family suffered beneath that sky I heard their tears, and I heard mine I was afraid, yes, I cried out low (Ya Rabb) but I would not let my faith go [Pre-Chorus] The wind said leave it, the pain is near (so close) the shadows shook with the scent of fear But my chest held fast to the brightest vow There is no god but Him, here and now [Chorus] Tauhid is my treasure Tauhid, I won’t let go Tauhid in the burning Tauhid, my heart knows (Allah) I will not break (Allah) I will not fall Even chained in the fire I belong to the One above all [Bridge] If this is my end, let it witness me Let the sand remember my certainty My body may tremble, my voice may die But my soul is a candle the heat cannot hide (syahid) I go in peace (syahid) I go in light With tears on my face And heaven in sight [Final Chorus] Tauhid is my treasure Tauhid, I won’t let go Tauhid in the burning Tauhid, my heart knows (Allah) I will not break (Allah) I will not fall Even chained in the fire I belong to the One above all [Outro] Muhammad, beloved, you led me here Through tears and terror, through pain and fear Summayah stands where the martyrs bloom And the One is near in the desert tomb
