Swept Away

I cannot breathe

My mind confused

I'm drowning in this ocean

I can't help but feel used

.

As waves engulf me

I try to survive

My body in a struggle

For another chance in life

.

My arms wave frantically

In search for some land

I know I won't make it

Without my Lord's hand

.

The world has turned its back on me

So have the earth and the seas

I know there is none to help me

But the creator of the trees

.

So I turn my head up

And look towards the sky

I begin to supplicate

To the One, the Most High

.

Through the dark tempests

The moon has a glow

Allah is watching over me

That much I know

.

My soul fills with hope

My heart gleams with love

I'm soaring into the blackness

Like a pure white dove

.

The blackness slowly fades

As night turns into day

Rays of sunshine blind my sight

From an island not far away

.

I open my eyes to a new world

What I see is not a dream!

Looking up with a smile I realise

It's never too late to turn to Him!
