We Need Saving by Ayce Yovarda Lyrics
[Chorus]
Freedom is pain, the streets is cold
Times is hard, it hurts to watch, it burns my soul
The days are young, the pain is old
We pray and mourn
I know they hate us
Cuz all the years spent shedding tears, ain’t seen no changes
See we’re not dangerous
We need saving
We need saving
[Verse 1]
Never accustomed to travelling customs
Just anxiety, anticipating quietly the handicap society affixed with being Muslim
As if we play the script of being equipped
Humanity stripped and searched at worst, coerced, no agenda supposedly
Their hidden motives never fooled the people that’s close to me
Cuz fall of September, I was laid up in a cradle
Innocence lost, and ramifications from the labels
That the world gave, ever since the world trade, tragedy occurred I had observed the path the world paved for us
Restricted opportunities by new age quotas
Pull the andis and build a new face for us
Cuz now discrimination for us spread across the nations
My brothers feel unease when attending congregations
See my people dying everyday for what our faith is
I’m asking god to fill our hearts with patience
[Chorus]
Freedom is pain, the streets is cold
Times is hard, it hurts to watch, it burns my soul
The days are young, the pain is old
We pray and mourn
I know they hate us
Cuz all the years spent shedding tears, ain’t seen no changes
See we’re not dangerous
We need saving
We need saving
[Verse 2]
I’m asking what’s new
It’s rare to see our story on the news
Unless an outlier pulls a ruse
And claims Islamic scripture was the motive for his fuel
To contradict the book, and villainize our pious
The same deception weaponized by the false messiah
And we can feel surveillance from the stares
Ironic you fear my people, when really we’re just as scared
Got us living out our nightmares, looking in the mirror
Only way to fight fear is to be aware
Miseducated minds quick to racialize their fears
Prejudice designed by the narratives you hear
Cuz now this plague has spread across the nations
My brothers feel unease when attending congregations
Still my people dying everyday for what our faith is
Been asking god to fill our hearts with patience
[Chorus]
Freedom is pain, the streets is cold
Times is hard, it hurts to watch, it burns my soul
The days are young, the pain is old
We pray and mourn
I know they hate us
Cuz all the years spent shedding tears, ain’t seen no changes
See we’re not dangerous
We need saving
We need saving
Freedom is pain, the streets is cold
Times is hard, it hurts to watch, it burns my soul
The days are young, the pain is old
We pray and mourn
I know they hate us
Cuz all the years spent shedding tears, ain’t seen no changes
See we’re not dangerous
We need saving
We need saving
[Verse 1]
Never accustomed to travelling customs
Just anxiety, anticipating quietly the handicap society affixed with being Muslim
