dawud wharnsby ali - the beautiful story of yusuf كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
we sipped our tea as he sat next to me
cross_legged on the floor
and he spoke of his youth, thrown to the wolves
a student of the hardship of war

a war that shaped him and moulded him to
a grateful and god_fearing man
the struggle of a nation burned in his eyes
as he relived his war torn homeland

accused and abused he was stolen away
no justice exists with no law
like the prophet yusuf he was thrown into prison
but they couldn’t cage his faith in allah

[chorus]
o, the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our lives
a lesson in forgiveness and brotherhood
we can not compromise

the power of patience and the fire of hope
must burn in the hearts of the wise
the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our lives

[verse 2]
it seemed like endless days and morningless nights
his family so blind with concern
while he held tight to his hope and his faith in allah
for the day they would see his return

the guards laughing in the black of the night
as they kicked him and beat him raw
and the blood and the dirt and the grime of the world
and the dark side of man that he saw

and in the minutes and months and years that dripped by
graying away his youth
he spent his hours in quiet worship
and the silent jihad for the truth

[chorus]
o, the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our lives
a lesson in forgiveness and brotherhood
we can not compromise

the power of patience and the fire of hope
must burn in the hearts of the wise
the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our lives

[verse 2]
he wiped tears from his cheek with the smile on his face
brushed the hair back from his daughter’s eyes
and as she finished her lesson and closed her qur’an
it was clear then to recognize

allah only tests those that he loves
his little girl climbed up onto his knees
o, the words of allah are clear to the world after hardship will always come ease

[chorus]
o, the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our lives
a lesson in forgiveness and brotherhood
we can not compromise

the power of patience and the fire of hope
must burn in the hearts of the wise
the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our li_ives

the beautiful story of yusuf
has so much to fill our li_i_ives
