rise

If I could quit studying and follow my dreams, I would.

Biiznillah, if I were to follow my dreams with this determination and passion that I have in me,

biiznillah,

I'll succeed.

I am confident I will,

for Allah is on my side.

But now isn't the time for that yet,

For my parents' dreams are more important than mine.

Look down on me for all you want now,

I may not be among the smartest or the prettiest,

But one day I'll rise and I'll surprise,

Oh I promise that I will,

And when that time comes,

you'll look back and remember,
I was the ordinary girl whom you all would never even consider.
