Mum and dad lyrics

You held my hand to steady me

Till I was ready to make a stand

On my own two feet

While my world was crumbling down

And you tried your best to shelter me

From the coming of the storm

You opened my eyes to see

That all hope was not gone

You held me in your arms

And wiped away my tears

Not even in a million years

Can I ever repay you

for what you’ve done for me?

You were there when I felt

That there was no place for me

You were there to show me

How to truly believe

In the miracle of creation

In the good and the bad

Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

You were there to lift me up

When I was far too small

To see a brighter tomorrow

And face it proud and tall

When my head was down you prayed for me

Said I just need some time

You said to spread my wings and fly

Give the world of what was inside

You taught me to try

To do my best to inspire

People of every kind

That’s a gift from Allah

That I can never claim as mine

You were there when I felt

That there was no place for me

You were there to show me

How to truly believe

In the miracle of creation

Even when you’re lost and scared

Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

Oh Allah, bless them

And always keep them safe from harm

Grant them places in Paradise

And Your eternal Salaam

You were there when I felt

That there was no place for me

You were there to show me

How to truly believe

In the miracle of creation

In the good and the bad

Oh how I love you Mum and Dad
