Lyrics

Zamzam!
Zamzam!

[Verse 1]
Bound to the sound as the ḥajjīs go round
In the place that we face, they put their heads to the ground
Bowin' in submission with conviction of steel
It's a feeling of peace me someday hope I can feel
People they come from every place on this planet to do it
It is the Ḥajj, the journey to the House of Allah
Where over two million different people come from near and from far
By car, by boat, and by plane, and by the camel
Some brothers even do it by foot wearin' the sandal!
But when they arrive and the city just glows
You'll understand the reasonin' why everyone goes
Seeking protection from Allah in every step that they take
'Here I am for my Creator!', they cry, 'Labbayk!'

[Chorus]
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (It's a journey for Allah)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make

[Verse 2]
Now from Medina to Muzdalifa are sights that you never saw
Best of all the trips, ain't nothin' less that I will settle for
Don the lḥrām where we all put on white
All of the people puttin' the sheets on that we all look alike
Doin' ṭawaf around the Kaʿba, kissin' the Black Stone if you can
But you haven't done nothin' 'til you've done Zamzam!
Gettin' on the bus so you can get to ʿArafāt (Oh)
Takin' all the pebbles you use to stone the Jamarāt (Oh-oh-oh)
Pacin' back and forth between the Ṣafaʾ and the Marwa
Commemoratin' what was done for Ishmael by Hagar
Sacrifice a lamb then goin' ahead and shave your head
People are joinin' in the feastin' after all of the prayers are said
Now nothin' beats this trip, not even Taj Mahal
Because there's Africans, Indonesians, from Egypt, and all
I'm lookin' forward to this trip me someday hope I can make
'Here I am for my Creator!', we cry out, 'Labbayk!'

[Chorus]
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh) (It's a journey for Allah)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (It's a journey for Allah)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make

[Bridge]
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk (Labbayk Allāh)
Labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk (Labbayk Allāh)
Inna ’l-ḥamda (Inna ’l-ḥamda)
Wa ’n-niʿmata (Wa ’n-niʿmata)
Laka wa ’l-mulk (Laka wa ’l-mulk!)
Lā sharīka lak! Lā sharīka lak!
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk (Labbayk Allāh) (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk (Labbayk Allāh)
IInna ’l-ḥamda (Inna ’l-ḥamda)
Wa ’n-niʿmata (Wa ’n-niʿmata)
Laka wa ’l-mulk (Laka wa ’l-mulk!)
Lā sharīka lak! Lā sharīka lak!

[Chorus]
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make

[Outro]
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make (Labbayk Allāh, oh-oh)
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk
It's a journey for Allah that I wanna make
