A couple summers ago my local mosque went bankrupt and had to relocate, while we were looking for a new location a church in the area actually opened up a part of their building just for us to pray in until we found a stable location, I thought it was beutiful having Muslims and Christians praying under one roof, you don't really see that nowadays but yea, those events as well as the way muslims are normally viewed inspired me to write this and i was just hoping to get some feedback
In a time of need they took us in with open arms
Instead of bustin out their threats and pullin out their harms
All the Muslims and Christians praying under one roof
Instead of having the cold indifference and standing aloof
You can tell me things can never really stay this way
Yet for an entire summer
We went to a Church faced Mecca and prayed away
No tentions no differences just our faith and our prayers
Voices calling to the heavens rising up in these layers
No hatred nor discrimination just harmony together
But even now I guess it won't last forever
Just like the golden age of spain the harmony will sever
And we won't be able to make it through our endeavor
Misunderstandings and prejudice constantly renew
An entire group is blamed for the actions of a few
An issue may be solved but comes back anew
Provin that maybe we can't all make it straight through
Is it really just human nature that leaves us all broken?
Or is it sheer ignorance that is our dark token?
Our hatred our flaws and our mishaps have spoken
so finally
we can't seem to find the strengh to bring our unity back
no community intact, its just proving we can't
keep ourselves together on the right track
