Stand Alone

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

I'm not afraid to stand alone

If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright

Gonna keep my head up high!

Single mother raising her children

And now she's a Muslim

Started praying and wearing a headscarf

Was healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on

But with prayer she would be strong

Had a job but then she was laid off

Got a better education and it paid off

she was called for a job that she dreamed of

Close by, great pay -she was in love

They brought her in, told her she's the number one pick

You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

this is a tough position that you put me in

Cause Ive been struggling with my two children

But I'll continue looking for a job again

My faith in my religion now will never bend

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

Peer pressure, they were insisting

And I was resistin

Some days I felt I would give in

Just wanted to fit in

I know when I'm praying and fasting'

They be teasing and laughing

So I called to my Lord for the power

For the strength every day, every hour...

One day there's a new Muslim teacher

Single mom and the people respect her

Just seeing her strength I get stronger

They can break my will no longer

You don't see me sweating when they're jokes're cracking

Never see me cursin' with my pants saggin'

I aint running yo I'm still standing

I ride with Allah to the very end

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

now , I'm a tough one, who can bear their blows

The rest play dumb, they don't dare say no

Scared of being shunned, by the peers they know

But I aint gonna run, I aint scared no more….

these sisters be resolute

Never stressed when the rest say they wasn't cute

And they get the respect of the other youth

Come best with the dress yo and that's the truth

These sisters are strong gonna hand it down

So me I'm a brotha gotta stand my ground

I aint gonna shudder, when the gangs around

Peer pressure whatever, its my planet now

Others may fall, I'mma hold my own

With the help of Allah I'll be strong as stone

And I'mma be brave and let Islam be shown

Cause you I know I not afraid to stand alone

Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone….

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright

Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone….

If Allah's by my side

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Everything will be alright

I am not afraid to stand alone….

Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone….
