Lyrics

The rolling hills golden brown, play in the sunset it's time to go home. Where have you been oh my son? These are beautiful days and joyful they come. Nothing here lasts forever, so hold on to the things that will stay. Do right by your family and your fellow men, the words of your love shows the way. That's what my father would say. These are the things that remind me of you, these little things that bring me right back to you. Open my mind, take me right back in time, to the place I was happiest in all of my life. Allahumma irham abi. Allahumma irham abi. The city lights so bright, out of myself into something else, lost way in the wilderness. Through the smoke in my haze didn't see my own face, but there was no judgment that you ever lay on me. These are the trials that happen sometimes, they teach you to stand on your feet. That's what my father would say to me. These are the things that remind me of you, these little things that bring me right back to you. Open my mind, take me right back in time, to the place I was happiest in all of my life. Allahumma irham abi. Allahumma irham abi. Reaching for stars in the sky, growing mighty and strong, having climbed mountains high, but what is it all for my child? We are all at a loss by the token of time, so hold on and cherish every single moment you have. Give the best of yourself, let God be the judge, limitlessly love to the end. Oh how I miss my dad. These are the things that remind me of you, these little things that bring me right back to you. Open my mind, take me right back in time, to the place I was happiest in all of my life. These are the things that my father would say, these little things I miss every day. The rolling hills still the same, I am sitting at home watching my children play. Come sit over here little ones, let me tell you the things that my father would say.
