Something hides in every night

Brings desire from the deep

And with it comes a burning light

To keep us from our sleep

And as the full star tries his best to make the white pearl shine

Glances of a new day have arrived

And though he’s not alone, he fears to never love another

And leave his heart forever with her smile

Habibi, light is burning

As I am burning

Habibi, light is burning

As I am yearning

Something died within a soul

Left the eyes to rust

And every time it is recalled

It covers all in dust

Habibi, light is burning

As I am burning

Habibi, light is burning

As I am yearning

And meanwhile, a whole lot goes down

Somewhere in the darkness, us together for a while

You loved it then, so did I

A feeling deep inside you wants to love it all again

Now don’t leave it there, just give it a chance

If only I’d forget you after one last dance

But you’re everywhere, yes you are

In every melody and in every little scar

Yes you are, you are

Habibi, light is burning

As I am burning

Habibi, light is burning

And I am yearning
