“What Our Eyes See is Not the Absolute Truth
There is a Spiritual World in the Sky”
Arabic/ English lyrics:
اللي بتشوفو عينينا
مش كل الحقيقة
في عالم روحي في السما
و في لله مشيئة
بالايمان صلاتنا تغير التاريخ
تعالى يا رب بنطلبك
و نصرخ كل دقيقة
What our eyes see
Is not the absolute truth
there is a spiritual world in the sky
and there is a will of God
By faith, our prayers change history
O God Almighty, we pray [to] you
And we [call] every minute

شق السما و انزل الينا
في أرضنا.. من حوالينا
قل كلمتك .. شعبنا يعرفك
و بقوتك تيجي و تشفينا
بنطلب في قلبك
في بلدنا تتم مشيئتك
و للي مت عشنهم
اسكب في قلوبنا حبك
يكون لينا أحشاءك
و بايديك الممدودة
اصنع آيات و عجائب
و الكل يعرف اسمك
Split the sky and come down to us
In our land .. around us
Say Your words .. our people know You well
With Your strength, You will heal us
We ask for what is in Your heart
Your will is achieved in our country
And for those who You died for them
Pour Your love into our hearts
We have Your [heart]
With Your outstretched hands
Create signs and wonders
And everyone knows Your name
- ---
شق السما و انزل الينا
في أرضنا من حوالينا
قول كلمتك .. شعبنا يعرفك
و بقوتك تيجي و تشفينا
Split the sky and come down to us
In our land .. around us
Say Your words .. our people know You well
With Your strength, You will heal us.
