The Blue Sky is Blue - Dawud Wharnsby Ali

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,

But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.

And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,

We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

I don’t want to be a grown-up like the grown-ups I have seen,

Because the grown-ups I have seen don’t seem to have much fun.

They don’t get down on the floor enough to pray or play with toys,

When I’m a grown-up I won’t want to be one.

Now if I lived back at the time of the Prophet,

I know that he would be different; I just know he’d find the time.

And I would make him something special like some paper planes or something,

I could race those planes with him or get a camel back ride.

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,

But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.

And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,

We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

I’d like to write a promise; I want you to make it to.

That if I misbehave a little like I sometimes do.

You won’t get really mad and you’ll be patient like the Prophet,

I really love my promise, how about you?

Cause the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,

But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.

And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,

We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

To be a Mommy or a Daddy must be really, really hard.

So let’s take a break together, cause I know how much you try

Let’s have a dish of apple sauce

Then tumble in the yard and we can pray and we can play along with the blue sky

The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,

But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.

And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,

We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.
