He prays to Allah several times a day
He’s been trying, hard, to show me the way
I asked him if God and Allah are the same
Apparently they are...just different names
I grew up believing in the Holy Trinity
He says the way to Allah is a lot more free
He said he could lead me and show me the truth
But I’ve only known God and Jesus since my youth
I never had a religious experience, though...that seems strange to me
He says that will change with Allah...that’s the only way to be
He seems to be really happy with his life and his powers
I pray and I wait...counting the hours
Nothing ever happens for me...maybe he’s on to something
I asked him to lead me...I am fully trusting
Trusting in him to show me the way
He tells me new things everyday
Where I’m at now...the skies are grey
He is full of life, love, and light
He shines into my soul, which is black as night
Allah led me to him...he beckoned me
With him, I have a feeling, my soul could be free
I just have to trust him to lead me in the right direction
He is just like me...he’s my reflection
He’s in prison for committing a crime
I don’t care...we come from the same place and time
I am am far from being an angel...but a fallen one...yes I am
He’s fallen too...and I don’t give a damn
I don’t care what he’s done in his past
This love is true and I know it will last
It will span the test of time
Keeping us apart is society’s crime
Everyone will pay for the things they are doing
They’d better watch out...there’s trouble brewing
We have plans when we get together
We will live out our fantasies forever and ever
When we are done doing what we need to do
We will move on to someplace new
In his wings I am the one he will cover
Yes, he is, and always will be, my Muslim Lover
