Pray for Al-Fasher

intro

Ohh ohh yeah...

Eh eh ahh...

Oh northern wind, carry my prayer

To Al-Fashir, my heart stays there

verse 1

Oh Al-Fashir’s cryin’, streets so cold (ohh yeah)

The night is long, the stories told (ehh ahh)

Homes so silent, eyes still plead (ahh ohh)

Where’s the laughter our children need (hold “need”)

Ohh ohh yeah, the moon don’t shine

Ehh ahh, but faith’s still mine

Even in the dark, I see your face (ohh ahh)

My city’s heart, my holy place (hold “place”)

chorus

Peace to Al-Fashir (oh oh yeah)

Peace to the pain (ehh ahh)

Peace to the hearts that rise again (ohh ohh)

Peace to the mothers, tears in their eyes (ahh yeah)

Sayin’ “God will make us rise” (ehh ehh)

Ohh yeah...

Peace to the broken, peace to the strong (ahh ohh)

We still believe, we still belong (hold “belong”)

verse 2

Down by the market, a palm still stands (oh oh)

Holdin’ our dreams in tremblin’ hands (ahh)

Leaves remember what we lost (eh eh)

But love still grows, whatever the cost (ohh ahh)

Ohh, children’s voices gone so still

Ehh, but we keep prayin’ we will

Rise from ashes, rise from pain (ohh yeah)

Till Al-Fashir smiles again (hold “again”)

Peace to Al-Fashir (oh oh yeah)

Peace to the pain (ehh ahh)

Peace to the hearts that rise again (ohh ohh)

We still believe, we still belong (hold “belong”)

Sorrow won’t last (ohh no)

The dawn will come (ahh yeah)

The wound will heal, the pain undone (eh eh)

Even when the dark feels long (ohh ahh)

We rise again, our faith is strong (oh yeah)

Peace to Al-Fashir (oh oh oh)

Peace to the soul (ehh ehh)

Broken hearts will still be whole (ahh ahh)
