And I sing my songs of innocence To you my precious child as you lay on your bed With your sleepy eyes and your heavy head Rest and dream in peace till morning comes again
I will sing my songs of innocence I will sing my songs of innocence
And I sing my songs of innocence As I watch you sleep, think what may lie ahead. So many the roads that before you spread Take the way, my child, to the Beloved Friend
Lead a life of truth and innocence The way of sunnah, the path of the Prophet Let your words be echoes of his sentences Let your deeds be shadows of his radiance.
And though the world outside seems cold and hard And you may feel like you are wandering alone Do not fear, do not grieve, in Allah place your belief In his remembrance your heart will find its peace
And I gaze at you in wonderment How your heart is filled with innocence. You’ll never know the joy you bring to me How your touch and smile dispel my every grief
May you never lose your innocence With life’s bittersweet experience And when the time comes, remember this: Wisdom is the refinding of innocence.
Now you’re breathing easy, I must call an end I have sung my song of innocence And if our paths should never cross again May God’s peace and mercy upon you descend
We will meet at the gathering of innocence At al-Kauthar, the fount of abundance By the Prophet’s hand may our thirst be quenched We will be with him, and we will be content
Salallahu `alayhi wa alihi Peace and blessings on him and his family And all who follow in his blessed way You and I, my child, may we among them be You and I, my child, may we among them be…
Will you help me learn of innocence? Sing a song of love and innocence? Will you help me find my way back home? Will you fill my heart with innocence? May I come to you an innocent? Let me sing my song of innocence.
