Love heats my blood, blood spins my head, and my head falls in love.
I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.
Music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony
Positive thoughts and prayer have been the best means available, since the beginning of time, to transform darkness to light.
The fact that the Prophet cared for every human being and tried his best to ensure their security in the hereafter must be the most telling of his compassionate and merciful characteristics.
In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that's kind of natural for anyone who's just embraced Islam - or any religion - as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now I've been crying lately, Thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.
Sun is the reason And the world it will bloom 'Cause sun lights the sky And the sun lights the moon
But when it comes to being loved, she's first/That's how I know The first cut is the deepest.
I know many fine feathered friends But their friendliness depends on how you do They know many sure fired ways, To find out the one who pays And how you do
I'm looking for a hard-headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard-headed woman, I know the rest of my life will be blessed
Baby I know, the first cut is the deepest.
