Lift up my spirits

Beautiful song. Kinda reflects what I am feeling or facing at the moment.

Oh Allah, give me a chance to redeem myself from the things that I have done.

I have no right to ask You, for I am but Your slave. But in your Speech written in the Holy Qur'an, You mentioned "Berdoalah kepadaku, nescaya akan ku perkenankan kepadamu." (Al-Mu'min:60)

And I am forever indebted and dependent on You. The very breath. The very flutter of beat and desire. All are gifts from You.

Please Allah. For there is no other except You, my Rabb, my Ilah, my Provider who can help me, an insan that owns nothing.

My own version should sound like this:

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm sitting here all alone trying to catch a shooting star and we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work, but, man, these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find my way
I got an aching mind that seems to work both ways and we don't know how
How we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best
Trying to make things work, but, man, these times are hard

But we're gonna stop by praying to God that things will be right
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

She's in line at the Pole with her head held high
While I just lost myself but didn't lose my mind, and we both now how
How we're going to make it work when it hurts, when you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Tryin' to make it work, but, man, these times are hard

But we're gonna start by putting intentions at places that are Right
Sit talking up all night, doing things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Ooooooooo x 3

Putting intentions at places that are Right
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

For the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby

I just got this feeling, that I am meeting you, for the first time.. :)
