~ Life is a precious gift ~

Assalamualaikum w.h.b

Tiba-tiba lagu I'm not afraid to stand alone nyanyian Native Deen terngiang-ngiang di telinga saya... Lagu ini mempunyai isi cerita yang sangat menarik... liriknya penuh makna... melihat video clipnya lebih menarik... untuk kesan mendidik iman yang maksimum melalui lagu ini, disarankan agar menghayati lirik sambil menonton video clipnya... air mata pernah mengalir, jantung saya berdebar2 dan ada satu rasa yang menggetarkan jiwa ketika pertama kali saya melihat dan mendengar video clip I'm not afraid to stand alone.

Ketika itu saya benar-benar jatuh cinta dengan isi penceritaan lagu ini... hingga sekarang ini adalah antara lagu yang benar-benar memberi kesan kepada saya... sila hayatinya... hayati sepenuh jiwa kita... bila ada satu keyakinan bahawa ALLAH sentiasa bersama, biarlah apa jua dugaan, halangan dan rintangan mendatang... kita pasti akan terus percaya bahawa kita tak pernah sendiri...

Firman ALLAH SWT ; " Dan apabila hamba-hambaKU bertanya kepadamu mengenai AKU, maka (beritahu kepada mereka); Sesungguhnya AKU (ALLAH) sentiasa hampir (kepada mereka), AKU perkenankan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila dia berdoa kepadaKU". [Surah Al Baqarah : ayat 186]



Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything will be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Gonna keep my head up high

Single mother raising her children
Now she's a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
It was a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong
Got a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off

Got a call for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay -she was in love -
They brought her in, told her she's the number one pick
“You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

It's a tough position that you put me in
Cause I’ve been struggling with my two children
But I'll continue looking for a job again
My faith and my religion now will never bend

Chorus

Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resisting
Some days I felt I would give in
Just wanted to fit in

I know when I’m praying and fasting’
They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour...

Then one day there’s a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her
Just seeing her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer

You don’t see me sweating when they’re jokes're cracking
Never see me cussing’ with my pants saggin’
I aint never running yo I’m still standing
I ride with Allah to the very end

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone...

Now, I’m a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don’t dare say no
Scared of being shunned, but its clear they know
I aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more….

Man, these sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn’t cute
And they get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and that’s the truth

These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me I’m a brotha gotta stand my ground
I aint gonna shudder, when the gangs around
Peer pressure whatever, its my planet now

Others may fall, I’mma hold my own
With Allah’s help I’ll be strong as stone
And I’mma be brave and let Al Islam be shown
Cause you I know I not afraid to stand alone
