My Mum Is Amazing

Here's a video on My Mum Is Amazing by Khalid Bikha from the album Allah Knows and also Mother (Arabic) by Sami Yusuf from the album My Ummah. Both are just as sad as it can be...



Lyrics : My Mum is Amazing

She wakes early in the morning with a smile
And she holds my head up high:
"Don't you ever let anybody put you down -
'Coz you are my little angel"

Then she makes something warm for me to drink
'Coz it's cold out there, she thinks
Then she walks me to school
yes, I ain't no fool
I just think my mum is amazing

Chorus

She makes me feel
Like I can do anything
And when she's with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

After school, she's waiting by the gate
I'm so happy that I just cant wait
To get home to tell her how my day went
Eat the yummy food only my mum makes

Then I wind her up 'coz I don't want to bath
And we run around the house with a laugh
No matter what I say, she gets her way
I think my mum is amazing

(Chorus)

In the evening, she tucks me into bed
And I wrap my arms around her head
Then she tells me a tale of a girl far away
Who one day became a princess

I'm so happy - I don't want her to leave
So she lies in bed with me
As I close my eyes, how lucky am I
To have a mum that's so amazing

(Chorus)

Then I wake up in the morning
she's not there
And I realise she never was
And I'm still here in this lonely orphanage
With so many just like me

And as my dreams begin to fade
I try hard to look forward to my day
But there's a pain in my heart that's a craving:
How I wish I had a mum that's amazing
Would be amazing
