A song made by Abdullah Ibrahim
A song made by Abdullah Ibrahim
(Soft melodic piano intro)
(Gentle exhale)
Only you, Kadman.
My heart’s secret rhythm.
There’s a name that lingers soft upon my tongue
A melody that’s waited since the world was young
Only two voices know the weight of its grace
Your father’s call, and mine in this sacred space
In the quiet of the morning when the sun begins to rise
I see the whole universe reflected in your eyes
You are the steady anchor in the middle of the storm
The shelter where my spirit keeps forever safe and warm
Oh, Kadman, my beautiful soul, my only life
You are my heart, my anchor, my wonderful wife
Mother of my children, the queen of my dreams
You are so much more than anyone else sees
I hold your hand through the joy and the pain
You are the sunshine that follows the rain
My Kadman, my love, my everything true
I’d spend a thousand lifetimes just choosing you
We built a kingdom from the whispers of our youth
We paved the pathways with the silver of the truth
With every laugh we share, a story starts to bloom
Chasing out the shadows that linger in the room
Our little ones, they carry the light from your face
A legacy of wonder, a touch of your grace
I look at the life that we’ve woven from gold
A story of passion that never grows old
Oh, Kadman, my beautiful soul, my only life
You are my heart, my anchor, my wonderful wife
Mother of my children, the queen of my dreams
You are so much more than anyone else sees
I hold your hand through the joy and the pain
You are the sunshine that follows the rain
My Kadman, my love, my everything true
I’d spend a thousand lifetimes just choosing you
And if the stars should fade and the planets align
In the next life, I’m searching till your heart is mine
Beyond the veil of time, across the infinite sea
My soul will recognize yours, waiting for me
Destiny isn't luck, it’s the path that we make
Every promise we gave, every breath that we take
Oh, Kadman, my beautiful soul, my only life
You are my heart, my anchor, my wonderful wife
Mother of my children, the queen of my dreams
You are so much more than anyone else sees
I hold your hand through the joy and the pain
You are the sunshine that follows the rain
My Kadman, my love, my everything true
I’d spend a thousand lifetimes just choosing you
Just you, Kadman.
In this life and the next.
Always you.
(Piano fades out gently)
My love.
(Final soft chord)
