[Verse 1] Suraqah bin Malik A name they feared in Mecca Best horse at the gate And gold in his eyes A hundred camels promised For the blessed one’s head Greed put steel in his chest And fire in his stride [Pre-Chorus] He heard the reward And the warning got thin He leaned to the hunt Let the chase pull him in [Chorus] Ride, Suraqah, ride The sand knows his name Ride, Suraqah, ride But the earth won’t behave Suraqah bin Malik Your spear won’t stay Suraqah bin Malik The path bends away [Verse 2] He cut through the heat With his best horse flying Close enough now To see the end Then the front leg sank Like the desert answered He hit the ground hard And tried again [Pre-Chorus] Still he rose back up Still he reached for the prize Then smoke rushed up From the horseshoe fire [Chorus] Ride, Suraqah, ride The sand knows his name Ride, Suraqah, ride But the earth won’t behave Suraqah bin Malik Your spear won’t stay Suraqah bin Malik The path bends away [Bridge] He bowed his head low To the Messenger’s light And the mercy he met Cut through the night The words were a promise Sharper than gold One day you will wear A king’s band of gold [Final Chorus] Ride, Suraqah, ride The sand knows his name Ride, Suraqah, ride But the earth won’t behave Suraqah bin Malik Your spear won’t stay Suraqah bin Malik A crown will wait Suraqah bin Malik The old world falls Suraqah bin Malik And mercy stands tall
