Sun is the reason And the world it will bloom 'Cause sun lights the sky And the sun lights the moon
I'm being followed by a moon shadow Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow... Did it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light ...and are you going to stay the night?
Now I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, Only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me
In a World where people are surrounded by darkness, ignorance and fear, it is a sign of hope to be celebrating Islam's message of peace and light, and the last great Messenger, born and chosen to deliver them to all mankind.
Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.

Man may live and man may die searching for the question why. But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall.
If I ever loose my eyes, I won't have to cry no more.
Music is part of God's universe.
The harm done is often difficult to repair.
My career is there for everyone to see and delve into.
There is a social need within our lives as human beings to have harmony.
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
And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words, "I love you
