SONGS INTERPRETATION

BEN

By MICHAEL JACKSON

Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for

With a friend to call my own

I'll never be alone

And you my friend will see

You've got a friend in me

(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there

(Here and there)

You feel you're not wanted anywhere

(Anywhere)

If you ever look behind

And don't like what you find

There's something you should know

You've got a place to go

(You've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"

Now it's "us", now it's "we"

I used to say "I" and "me"

Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away

I don't listen to a word they say

They don't see you as I do

I wish they would try to

I'm sure they'd think again

If they had a friend like Ben

(A friend)

Like Ben

(Like Ben)

Like Ben

INSYA ALLAH

By: Maher Zaen

every time you feel like you cannot go on

you feel so lost and that you’re so alone

all you see is night and darkness all around

you feel so helpless you can’t see which way to go

don’t despair and never lose hope

’cause Allah is always by your side

reff:

Insha Allah, Insha Allah

Insha Allah you’ll find your way

Insha Allah, Insha Allah

Insha Allah you’ll find your way

every time you commit one more mistake

you feel you can’t repent and that it’s way too late

you’re so confused wrong decisions you have made

haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame

but don’t despair and never lose hope

’cause Allah is always by your side

repeat reff

turn to Allah. He’s never far away

put your trust in Him, raise your hands and pray

Ya Allah guide my steps, don’t let me go astray

You’re the only one who can show me the way

show me the way, show me the way, show me the way

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
