Picture the morning taste and devour   We rise early pace up the hour   Streets is bustling hustling their heart out   You can't have the sweet with no sour     Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower   We came out precisely the hour   Clouds disappear the sun shows the power   No chance of a probable shower     I fell in love with my neighbors daughter   I wanted to protect and support her   Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter   I had dreams beyond our border.     Is it true when they say all you need is just love,   Is it true   What about those who have loved   Only to find that it's taken away   And why do they say that the children have rights to be free   To be free   What about those who I've known   Whose memory still lives inside of me.     Fatima,   What did the Young Man say   Before he stole you away   On that fateful day Fatima   Fatima,   Did he know your name   Or the plans we made,   To go to New York City, Fatima     And after school we studied the lessons   I ask God to slow down the seconds   He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing   I better chill and count my own blessings     Fatima, Fatima what is the matter   How come you ain't come up the ladder   So we can be like there's no tomorrow   Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow     She spoke Arabic and Swahili   She'd say Upendo (Swahili for love) Anta Habibi (Arabic for, you are my love/dearest friend)   You so bright, you shine like my TV   Then one day she never came to meet me     Is it true when they say all you need is just love,   Is it true   What about those who have loved   Only to find that it's taken away   And why do they say that the children have rights to be free   To be free   What about those who I've known   Whose memory still lives inside of me.     Fatima,   What did the Young Man say   Before he stole you away   On that fateful day Fatima   Fatima,   Did he know your name   Or the plans we made,   To go to New York City, Fatima   (Repeat)     If beauty was in the eyes of beholder   how come everyone hushed when she walked by   How come girls would look just to scold her   How come the angel wanted to hold her?     Fatima, Fatima I'm in America   I make rhymes and I make them delicate   You would have liked the parks in Connecticut   You would have said I'm working too hard again.     Damn you shooter, Damn you the building   Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling   Damn you Country so good at killing   Damn you feeling, for persevering     Is it true when they say all you need is just love,   Is it true   What about those who have loved   Only to find that it's taken away   And why do they say that the children have rights to be free   To be free   What about those who I've known   Whose memory still lives inside of me.       Fatima,   What did the Gun Man Say   before he took you away on that fateful day   Fatima   Did he know your name, or the plans we made   To go to New York City   (Repeat)     Fatima..     (Spoken)   Now I just want to make it clear, I don't want you to shed a tear.   Because this here, is a celebration, We're not mourning, We're celebrating   Yeah   So baby don't cry, Please don't let the tears fall   So don't cry..    these lyrics are submitted by Paige
