I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


I'm not afraid to stand alone
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright

Gonna keep my head up high!

Single mother raising her children

And now she's a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
Was healing for her heart


Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong

Had a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off


she was called for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay -she was in love
They brought her in, told her she's the number one pick

You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

this is a tough position that you put me in

Cause Ive been struggling with my two children
But I'll continue looking for a job again
My faith in my religion now will never bend


Chorus


I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resistin
Some days I felt I would give in

Just wanted to fit in

I know when I'm praying and fasting'

They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour...


One day there's a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her

Just seeing her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer


You don't see me sweating when they're jokes're cracking

never see my pressure when my is saggin'

i will never run yo
i am till standing
I bow to Allah to the very end


Chorus
I am not afraid to stand alone....

I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high



now , I'm a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don't dare say no
Scared of being shunned, by the peers they know
But I aint gonna run, I aint scared no more....


these sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn't cute
And they get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and that's the truth


These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me I'm a brotha gotta stand my ground
I aint gonna shudder, when the gangs around
Peer pressure whatever, its my planet now


Others may fall, I'mma hold my own
With the help of Allah I'll be strong as stone
And I'mma be brave and let Islam be shown
Cause you I know I not afraid to stand alone


Chorus ...............................................

I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


I am not afraid to stand alone....
I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high


I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side
Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone....
If Allah's by my side

Everything will be alright
Gonna keep my head up high
