Lyrics
All across ocean and land, incumbent on all men is the pilgrimage to Mecca, fifth pillar of Islam, in the footsteps of Muhammad, the last prophet of Allah. Bow down, bow down and praise Allah. First sight, first sight of the Kaaba. Breakdown, breakdown and praise Allah. The path, this journey far and far, to the city of Mecca, to strengthen what we believe in, the voyage we undertake, hear the echo in the wind. Labbaik Allahumma labbaik. Bow down, bow down and praise Allah. First sight, first sight of the Kaaba. Breakdown, breakdown and praise Allah. Ismail, son of Ibrahim, lay on the burning sand, with his mother running frantically between Safa and Marwa. From the sky came Angel Jibrail, brought a blessing from Allah. Bow down, bow down and praise Allah. First sight, first sight of the Kaaba. Breakdown, breakdown and praise Allah. It isn't always easy, there is so much we don't know. So many people in this world just don't know which way to go. But if our faith prevails, we'll always do our very best to have the strongest conviction and survive the greatest test. Here we are, leaving Mecca, conviction in our hearts. Crying out to the heaven, on the plains of Arafat. Standing proud beside my brother, silent at Musdalifah. Labbaik Allahumma labbaik. Bow down, bow down and praise Allah. First sight, first sight of the Kaaba. Bow down, bow down and praise Allah. Makkah, Makkah Mukarramah. Breakdown, breakdown and praise Allah.
