[Verse 1]
Through forgiveness
Comes true vision
With this acceptance
We are forgiven
As you behold
This reflection
See its extension
Encircle us all
Through forgiveness
Comes true vision
With this acceptance
We are forgiven
As you behold
This reflection
See its extension
Encircle us all
Through forgiveness
Comes true vision
With this acceptance
We are forgiven
As you behold
This reflection
See its extension
Encircle us all

[Verse 2]
Born of thy breath
And beginning to see
That you are the essence
Of all we receive
As we discover
And learn to believe
That what is forever

So one to another
We give and receive
As love is eternal
In turn we believe
To pray for this life
And to where we are from
One with the journey
Through what we've become
So pray for forgiveness
For what we have done
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
[Chorus]
Allah
Hu Allah
Il Allah
Shakur Allah

Hu Allah

Shakur Allah

Hu Allah
Il Allah
La Ilaha il Allah
La Ilaha il Allah

[Verse 3]
Born of thy breath

That what is forever

So one to another
We give and receive
As love is eternal
In turn we believe
So pray for this life
And to where we are from
One with the journey
Through what we’ve become
So pray for forgiveness
For what we have done
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
Said pray for this life
And to where we are from
One with the journey
Through what we've become
So pray for forgiveness
For what we have done
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
Said pray for this life
And to where we are from
One with the journey
Through what we've become
So pray for forgiveness
For what we have done
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
Pray for the journey
Return to the One
[Verse 4]
