a Call for Allah

Lagu ini dari Outlandish, grup hip-hop asal Denmark yang single "Aicha" nya menempati chart nomor satu di Jerman, USA dan banyak diputar di berbagai negara di Asia. Walaupun tidak semua personilnya beragama Islam, tapi mereka sering memasukkan tema Islam dan isu kontemporer menyangkut muslim di dunia Barat.


Mungkin ini metode para generasi muda muslim dalam memperkenalkan nilai-nilai Islam yang sebenarnya, sekaligus sebagai kritik sosial yang disampaikan secara cerdas dan.. "terselubung". Iya, karena musik adalah sebuah bahasa yang universal, bahasa yang mudah dicerna telinga yang masih belia.


Saya biasanya kurang suka dengan lagu-lagu hip-hop, tapi langsung memutar berkali-kali begitu dengar lagu ini. Judulnya "I'm Calling You", it's a call for Allah.


I'm calling You, when all my goals, my very soul ain't falling through
I'm in need of You
The trust in my faith, my tears and my ways is drowning so
I can not always show it but don't doubt my love

I'm calling You
With all my time and all my fights in search for the truth
Trying to reach You

See the worth of my sweat, my house and my bed
Am lost in sleep
I will not be false in who I am as long as I breathe

***
I don't need nobody and I don't fear nobody
I don't call nobody but You
My One & Only

I don't need nobody and I don't fear nobody
I don't call nobody but You
You all I need in my life
***

I'm calling You, when all my joy and all my love is feeling good
Cause it's due to You

See the time of my life, my days and my nights
It's alright cause at the end of the day
I still got enough for me and my

I'm calling You
When all my keys and all my bizz runs all so smooth
I'm thanking You
See the halves in my life, my patience, my wife
With all that I know
Take no more than I deserve, still need to learn more
(***)

Our relationship, so complex
Found You while I was headed straight for hell in quest
You have no one to compare to
'Cause when I lie to myself nothings hidden from You
I guess I'm thankful
Word on the street is You changed me
It shows in my behaviour, past present future
Lay it all out, found my call in Your house
And let the whole world know what this love is about
