You held my hand to steady me
 Till I was ready to make a stand
 On my own two feet 
 While my world was [bad word] down

And you tried your best to shelter me
 From [bad word] of the storm
 You opened my eyes to see 
 That all hope was not gone

You held me in your arms 
 And wiped away my tears
 Not even in a million years
 Can I ever repay you 
 for what you’ve done for me?

You were there when I felt 
 That there was no place for me
 You were there to show me
 How to [bad word] believe
 In the miracle of creation
 In the good and the bad
 Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

You were there to lift me up
 When I was far too small
 To see a brighter tomorrow
 And face it proud and tall

When my head was down you prayed for me
 Said I just need some time
 You said to spread my wings and fly
 Give the world of what was inside

You taught me to try
 To do my best to inspire
 People of every kind
 That’s a gift from Allah
 That I can never claim as mine

You were there when I felt 
 That there was no place for me
 You were there to show me
 How to [bad word] believe
 In the miracle of creation
 Even when you’re lost and scared
 Oh how I love you Mum and Dad

Oh Allah, bless them
 And always keep them safe from harm
 Grant them places in Paradise
 And Your eternal Salaam

You were there when I felt 
 That there was no place for me
 You were there to show me
 How to [bad word] believe
 In the miracle of creation
 In the good and the bad
 Oh how I love you Mum and Dad
