Native Deen Life's Worth
Summer night on the 4th of July and I’m hanging outside
I take my kids downtown to watch fireworks fly
As the light flicker in my daughters eyes
I think about the plight of a war torn child
And how these same sights and sounds make them cry
And how much is this life worth, is what I say to you
As I sit here right now, watching the evening news
And how much is this life worth, cause it cant be true
We’re dying over different points of view
So how much is this life worth to you.
Yah Allah, Yah Allah
It five o-clock and Im rushing home like I always do
I call ahead to my wife and kids and say I’ll be there
soon
I put the radio on, and the announcer speaks
Of a man rushing home just in time to see
His house blown to rubble with his family beneath
And how much is this life worth, is what I say to you
As I sit here right now, watching the evening news
And how much is this life worth, cause it cant be true
We’re dying over different points of view
So how much is this life worth to you.
Yah Allah, oh Allah
How much is this life worth,
How much is this life worth,
How much is this life worth,
How much is this life worth,
We say we stand for justice for all, but what about
babies when bombs fall
How much is their life worth to you
And when we say we answer the call of Allah
But is it the way of Rasoolullah
How much is his life worth to you
Yah Allah, help us make due…yeah…
And how much is this life worth, is what I say to you
As I sit here right now, watching the evening news
How much is this life worth, cause it can’t be true
That we’re dying over different points of view
So how much is this life worth to you.
So how much is this life worth to you.
