Lyrics

Intro

Allah Ak-bar

Allah Ak-bar

Chorus

White linens draped on the shoulders

White linens clean as the morning

New path

New day

Young Ajamu feels the blessing

Yamakasi stands on the prayer mat

One god

One soul

We are breaking the fast today

We are living the word today

Post-Chorus

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak

L-la-la-la-la

Verse 1

Sacrifice made

Humble hands held high above the grass

Mercy in the garden

Stepping out in the freshest leather shoes

I am rising with the family

Kneeling down while the sun hits the temple

Pre-Chorus

Look at the skyline

Watch how the light shifts

See the brotherhood gathering

Chorus

White linens draped on the shoulders

White linens clean as the morning

New path

New day

Young Ajamu feels the blessing

Yamakasi stands on the prayer mat

One god

One soul

We are breaking the fast today

We are living the word today

Post-Chorus

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak

L-la-la-la-la

Verse 2

The scent of the oud follows my movement

Passing plates of honey and dates to the elders

Stronger now

Calm and quiet inside

Spirit moving like the moon across the desert

Gliding through the Oakland streets in the moonlight

Pre-Chorus

Look at the skyline

Watch how the light shifts

See the brotherhood gathering

Chorus

White linens draped on the shoulders

White linens clean as the morning

New path

New day

Young Ajamu feels the blessing

Yamakasi stands on the prayer mat

One god

One soul

We are breaking the fast today

We are living the word today
