Prism Lyrics

By: Sami Yusuf

All of your waves
Have come from one
The seed has spread
The dawn of light
Has split from white
To blues and reds

Behind it all
There must be more

Seven colours of day
Show the light of your way
Have I found what is lying behind
The fire in your eyes?
Do you see what I see?

And from one breath
All sound was formed
Your words could sing
The prism shares
Your secret layers
Unraveling

Behind it all
There must be more

Seven colours of day
Show the light of your way
Have I found what is lying behind
The fire in your eyes?
Do you see what I see?

Every heart, Every hand, Every head
Rise up
Every thought, Every tear, Every smile
Rise up
Every fear, Every doubt, Every trouble
Rise up
Every hope, Every wish, Every prayer
Rise Up
Every faith, Every creed, Every colour
Rise Up
Every mind, Every soul, Everyone
(Rise Up)

Do you see what I see?

Prism:
The light of our sun contains all the colours of this world, and the Prism allows us to separate this light in to its “secret layers”. Inspired by a phrase from a Hadith Qudsi (Sacred scripture): “When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he moves and his foot with which he walks”, the Prism is a symbol of discovery, a way of seeing “with which he sees”.
