We Were Sleeping (feat. Amjad Ali Khan, Amaan Ali Khan & Ayaan Ali Khan)

We were sleeping when it all began
When the spirits walked with open hands
And the water parted from the land
We were sleeping when it all began

The blessed rain falls like grace
Without regard to wealth or race
And returns to vapor from this place
The blessed rain it falls like grace

Look away look away
Hot and dry as it's been
It's a wonder when the rain begins
The rain begins

The birds go quiet when the twilight falls
As we sit silent in the ache and awe
And another world has always called
The birds go quiet when the twilight falls

We wait wounded one by one
And those of us less grieved than some
Give bread and breathe it's nearly done
And hope the healing still might come

Look away look away
Hot and dry as it's been
It's a wonder when the rain begins
The rain begins

Look away look away
Hot and dry as it's been
It's a wonder when the rain begins
The rain begins

So count the stars that shine tonight
As if each star were prayers in flight
Only love can make it right
Count the stars that shine tonight

Look away look away
Hot and dry as it's been
It's a wonder when the rain begins
The rain begins
