QADIR - Nick Hakim

Oh, we have fallen

As a whole

And we’re sinking

Down a hole

Without thinking

About our loved ones

Who might be shrinking

Into a sunken space

With glass surrounding

Their powers

That are pounding

In their temple

In their mind

There seems to be a complexity

To being kind

To your space

To your temple

To your neighbors

Who’ve seen the changes

We all feel change

Some of us wear masks

To hide the pain

And I just wish I could ask

Qadir, oh, what’s the deal now?

What did you plant in your mother’s garden?

Qadir, oh, I miss you dearly

What did you plant in your mother’s garden?

Oh, hemos sido esclavos

To these systems

That project false beauty

Exorcisms

Burn it out of my body

This dependency don’t help nobody

We’re sitting in dark rooms

With bags on our heads

Waiting for God to touch us

We just wanna be closer

It’s overwhelming

Some of us wear masks

Because some can’t adapt

Oh, I just wish I could ask

Qadir, what’s the deal now?

What did you plant in your mother’s garden?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Qadir, oh, I miss you dearly

What did you plant in your mother’s garden?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, we have fallen

As a whole

And we’re sinking

Down a hole

Without thinking

About our loved ones

Who might be shrinking

Into the sunken space

With glass surrounding

Their powers

That are pounding

In their temple

In their mind

There seems to be a complexity

To being kind

To your space

To your temple

To your neighbors

Who’ve seen the changes

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

We all feel change

Some of us wear masks

Because we can’t adapt

I just wish I could ask

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
