    Holy Day

    by: Kultur Shock

    In the desert,
    On the mountain,
    In my village,
    Dervish dancing
    And I love you.
    Life is beautiful.
    I love the Earth more than Allah
    I love you more than Earth
    Every day is Holly Day!
    Every day is Holly Day!
    Too young to go, but too proud to stay.
    I got to change, to transform,
    Let's dance one more
    What if my sin is forever?
    What if water cleans it never?
    But I love you.
    Life is beautiful.
    I love the Earth more than Allah
    I love you more than Earth
    Every day is Holly Day!
    Every day is Holly Day!
    Too young to go, but too proud to stay.
    I got to change, to transform......
    I believe in water,
    I believe in water,
    To wash my sin,
