I found freedom in prayer
Peace in prostration
And belonging in submission
As my head touched the floor

I found my heart at the mosque
And a lullaby in the recitation of supplications
I found hypocrisy in preachers
And piety in the poor

Sisters that lay in the shadows
To show me light when I fall
Brothers who are protectiveΒ 
But most of all respectful

I found a unity with strangers
A vision beyond this world
I wanted to see my reflection in
The rivers at the Gardens of Eden

I fell in love with manners
Smitten with worship
Prayer swept me off my feet
Where there is God there is no defeat
