[Intro: Waqas]
Are you ready for these blessings?
Are you ready for what's coming?
Are you ready for these blessing?
Here we, here we go, here we go now
[Verse 1: Waqas]
As I woke up this morning, dawn cracking
But I got up easy, doing salah - wasn't even sleepy
Open the window to the humming of birds
Spreading tranquillity, praising the lord of the worlds
Turned on the news, only four killings reported
None of them terror-related, no one deported
My woman happy meaning that we all are happy
House is nice and clean, on top of my deen
I step out the door, step out on the concrete
Throw my deuces in the air towards the unseen
Walking the streets, no transgressin'
Bro, I'm even aware of the ants and where I be steppin'
[Chorus: Daim Khalid]
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today's a good day to be alive
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today is a gift
That's why we call it the present and keep our heads high
[Verse 2: Waqas]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Step on the bus and no one is staring
I see a scarf and a kippah seat sharing
All I see is caring
Young kids who look like thugs
Leavin' their seats so old folks can sit down
It's a beautiful thing, you know, someone's bouncin' to Ed Sheeran
One readin' the Quraan and one Charles Darwin
I mean, people smiling, giving each other room
The driver greeting people, saying, "Come back soon"
So I jump off the bus, step on the concrete
Throw my deuces in the air towards the unseen
With a smile on my face, I'm on my way
Headphones bumpin' Ice Cube, today, was a good day
[Chorus: Daim Khalid]
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today's a good day to be alive
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today is a gift
That's why we call it the present and keep our heads high
[Bridge: Daim Khalid]
I fear the lie, I fear the lie
I fear the lie 'cause my tears they smile
I fear the lie, I fear the lie
I fear the lie 'cause my tears they smile
[Chorus: Daim Khalid]
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today's a good day to be alive
Today, these tears will smile
'Cause today is a gift
That's why we call it the present and keep our heads high
[Outro: Daim Khalid]
Time to bless up, keep your head high
Time to bless up, keep your head high
Time to bless up, keep your head high
Time to bless up, keep your head high
