The 28 year wait is over. I already wrote about the first single, Heaven/Where True Love Goes, which was released as a single (along with a beautiful video) about two weeks ago. Well today, the full album has finally been released in the United States. And the CD has been well worth the wait. Inshallah I’ll write more about the CD and write a more complete review soon.

Aside from Heaven/Where True Love Goes, here are excerpts of two other songs (along with lyrics) that I really like. Enjoy! (And please purchase the CD for yourself!!!)

‘I feel right about making music and singing about life in this fragile world again. It is important for me to be able to help bridge the cultural gaps others are sometimes frightened to cross.’ - Yusuf Islam

… He was born to be the beloved, he was born to be kind

He taught the people to worship
bowing to one God, bowing to one God

His mercy stretched from East to West, to every man, woman and child

He was born to be the beloved- a will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved, Nature Sublime

He opened up the doors of love
for every heart parched with thirst
He was a mercy to the words
and unto the human births

He was born to be the beloved- a will of the Divine
He was born to be the beloved, he was born to guide…

In The End

You can’t bargain with the truth
‘Cause whether you’re right or you’re wrong
We’re gonna know what you’ve done
We’re going to see where you belong - in the end

You can’t bargain with the truth
Whether you are black or you’re white
We’re going to know who’s right
We’re going to see you in the light – in the end

O and every little thing you do
You’d better know it’s coming back to you

You can’t bargain with the truth
‘Cause one day you’re gonna die
And good’s going high,
And evil’s going down – in the end
