Allāh has given me a Cotton Candy Sky
A little bit of blue, pink, purple and white
I sometimes see the grey and I sometimes feel the rain
But I’ll see the colours of the Cotton Candy Sky again
I see the red of my mother’s love
The true blue of my father’s hugs
I see the orange of my siblings smile
I see the pink and the white of the love of my life
And the deep, deep green that all children bring
Are the coolness of my eyes
Whenever I am down, I look up to the sky
And I see the signs from Allāh, Most High
Most of all I see Light, endless Light upon Light
Mercy from Allāh who is yours and mine
Ar-Raẖmānir Raẖīm, Rabbal ‘Ālamīn
The Most Merciful Lord of the Worlds
Bismillāh [In the name of Allāh] and again I begin
I see the yellow like a sunflower smile
Of an orphan girl who says Alẖamdulillah
Praise be to God
Or a mother who lost her child
Sees them waiting on a throne of gold so high
Or a father who holds his stride
Working hard every day and is firm in his faith
Burning bright like a beautiful crimson flame
Says Allāh keep my family safe
Of course there are times
Both yours and mine
When the tears in our eyes
Sting and blur out the light
But these lows bring the highs
Of the strength I have inside
To always see my Cotton Candy Sky
Allāh has given me a Cotton Candy Sky
A little bit of blue, pink, purple and white
I sometimes see the grey and I sometimes feel the rain
But I’ll see the colours of the Cotton Candy Sky again
