Open your eyes

Nahida the exiled Palestinian
 

And come with me



I want to show you something



Some times, we waste our lives





Searching and dreaming of paradise




Nay



Paradise is near… it's here




All around us



And deep within


If only we could hear





Hills, valleys, meadows and mountains
Music to the eye, healing to the soul



Creeks, rivers, seas and oceans
Azure compassion inviting for devotion



Jasmine, lilies, daisies, and roses

Vibrant poetry, tender and sublime




Sand, Pebbles, rocks and stones


Majestic beauty, humbling down




Forests, oasis, deserts in bloom

Melodies of angels, heartrending tune



Dancing galaxies and twinkling stars

Breathtaking splendour

Makes you want to cry




Can you feel your body trembling?



Can you hear the pounding of your heart?




See this planet




It’s ours



This is our planet





And we are LIVING in it




To cherish



To enjoy



To hold dear

Deep within our hearts




Wrapped with love



Offered with affection



A bequest … magnificent
From the Most Compassionate


Most Merciful, Most High




See this beauty



Who would want to destroy that?



See this innocence



Who would want to hurt that?



See this purity



Who would want to spoil that?




See this gentleness




Who would want to upset that?



See this love





Who would want to reject that?





See this mercy



Who would want crush that?



Overwhelmed


Am falling on my knees



Pleading




Don’t let them




Don’t let them




Don’t let them




Don’t let them




Don’t let them




I plead with Thee

Don’t let them mess that up



Don’t let them tear it down
