Daud Wharnsby Ali 08-dont talk to me about... Lyrics

"It would be such a pleasure to have you come along with me,
I accept your gracious offer of kindness and company.
But as we walk along young man,
And as you help me with my load,
I have only one request as we travel down this road:

Don't talk to me about Muhammad.
Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,
So don't talk to me about Muhammad.
And as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
As we walk along together we will get along.

That man upsets me so,
So much more than you could know.
I hear of his name,
And reputation everywhere I go.

Though his family and his clan,
Once knew him as an honest man,
He's dividing everyone,
With his claim that God is one,

So don't talk to me about Muhammad.
Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,
So don't talk to me about Muhammad.
And as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
As we walk along together we will get along.

He's mislead all the weak ones, and the poor ones and the slaves,
They think they've all found wealth and freedom following his ways.
He's corrupted all the youth with his twisted brand of truth,
Convinced them that they all are strong,
Giving them somewhere to belong.

So don't talk to me about Muhammad
Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,
So don't talk to me about Muhammad.
And as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
As we walk along together we will get along.
Thank you now young man, you've really been so kind,
Your generosity and smile are very rare to find.
Let me give you some advice,
Since you've been so very nice:

From Muhammad stay away,
Don't heed his words or emulate his way,
And don't talk about Muhammad.

You will never have true peace and trouble is all you will find,
So don't talk about Muhammad.
And as you travel down life's road you will get along just fine.

Now before we part and go,
If it's all right just the same,
May I ask my dear young man,
Who are you? What's your name?

Forgive me what was that?
Your words weren't very clear,
My ears are getting old,
Sometimes it's difficult to hear.

It's truly rather funny,
Though I'm sure I must be wrong.
But I thought I heard you said,
Your name is Muhammad.

Muhammad... Ash hadu an la ilaha illallah
Wash hadu ana Muhammadur rasulullah
Oh! talk to me Muhammad.

Upon you I pray for peace,
For you have eased my troubled mind,
Oh! talk to me Muhammad.
And as we walk along together we will get along just fine
As I travel down life's road I will get along...just fine."
