Faith's Embrace

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up early today
Put on my favorite clothes to pray
But something feels a bit strange
On these streets so far away
The morning air hits different here
Though my heart knows what to do
I miss the ways we used to meet
Back home, just me and you
[Chorus]
When I hear the call to prayer
Rising through the morning air
Mom, it feels like you are near
'Cause faith speaks everywhere
[Verse 2]
My neighbor brought me sweets today
She didn't know about our ways
But smiled and took my hand
Said "Please help me understand"
I showed her how we break our fast
The dates, the water glass
And in her eyes I saw at last
Some bridges never pass
[Chorus]
When I hear the call to prayer
Rising through the morning air
Mom, it feels like you are near
'Cause faith speaks everywhere
[Bridge]
New faces at my table
New words upon my tongue
But when I close my eyes
I'm where I belong
Where your hands taught mine
How to give, how to love
[Verse 3]
The prayer rug that you packed for me
Still carries home in every seam
And though we're oceans apart
Your blessings fill my heart
I found family in strangers here
Who gather, share, and pray
And somehow in their warmth I feel
You're not so far away
[Chorus]
When I hear the call to prayer
Rising through the morning air
Mom, it feels like you are near
'Cause faith speaks everywhere
