(Whispered) Bilal Tokunbo Aderinola
Twelve years since the brightness started
In the USA, you changed our world
My son, my heart
Twelve years ago, you arrived in that foreign land
Little Bilal, the light resting in my hand
You changed the way I reason, you changed my very soul
I saw the greatness in you, you made the broken whole
Like the great Bilal, a beacon in the night
May Almighty Allah keep you in His holy light
Happy birthday to you, my champion, my son
Your journey in this life has only just begun
Be a great ambassador, walk in the righteous way
May Allah guide your path every single day
Bilal Tokunbo, shine on through the rain
Your dad’s words live in you, to ease away the pain
Your late father told you, stay prayerful and be firm
In every single duty, let your spirit learn
Don’t follow bad peers, keep your eyes upon the star
Be contented with what I provide, no matter where you are
I see the man you're building, I know you will excel
With wisdom in your spirit, and stories you will tell
Happy birthday to you, my champion, my son
Your journey in this life has only just begun
Be a great ambassador, walk in the righteous way
May Allah guide your path every single day
Bilal Tokunbo, shine on through the rain
Your dad’s words live in you, to ease away the pain
Sofiat and Khaolah, they send their love so deep
Promises of greatness that we know you’re gonna keep
Many more years ahead, under the Almighty’s grace
We’re walking by your side in this life’s steady pace
Happy birthday, Bilal, stay firm, stay true
The love of your family is forever watching you
(Aching vocal) May Allah guide your path
My son, my light… keep going
