"Where I Long To Be"

Did you ever want to go back to hajj?
Just like a hook pulling me, be a hajji
A pilgrim wrapped in two white sheets of cloth
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Down under the blazing heat
1.2 billion around me,
This is where I long to be
Back there among the hajjis.
And then when the Sa'ee came
Running up the mountains high
"Labaik Allahuma" we'd all cry.
Us Muslims, unify!


I fell in love with the atmosphere
Pilgrims with fierce loyalty, and amity.
Simply ask and it's given to you
I prayed the three days would last
They went so fast
Down under the blazing heat
1.2 billion around me,
This is where I long to be
Back there among the hajjis.
And then when the Sa'ee came
Running up the mountains high
"Labaik Allahuma" we'd all cry.
Us Muslims, unify!


I want to go and stone the Jamarat
But not until I go pray at Arafat.
A black mountain each day, but that day its white
All the Muslims there standing
And praying... in the light.
