Raef - So Real feat. Maher Zain | Official Music Video | Lyric

Published on Jun 26, 2014

"So Real" by Raef, featuring Maher Zain, directed by Ross Ching. From Raef's debut album "The Path".

Born in Washington DC and raised in Maryland, Raef has shared his music with faith-based communities across the world. In the early 2000s, he sang tenor in a college a cappella group and played his acoustic guitar at local coffee shops. Raef was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock-band "Great Seneca" toured the United States as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Shortly afterwards, Raef joined the "Poetic Vision Tour" - a band of traveling musicians and poets dedicated to inspiring a spiritual and cultural renewal. More recently, Raef started working with Awakening Records and in 2014 released his debut album "The Path" , a collection of songs that reflects his identity as an American Muslim and his journey throughout the years.

So Real - Lyrics:

They say that love never lasts
That love never lives to see another day
But what I know deep down inside
It's what I feel and it's so real
I gave it up all for You
And there ain't nothing that I won't do
All I know deep down inside
It's what I feel and it's so real with You!

Chorus:
Allah, everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You
'Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
Yes everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You
'Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan

They say: "You're out of your mind"
"Don't you know that love fades away?"
They say: "It only brings you pain!"
But what I feel is so real!
I gave it up and turned to You
'Cause I know what your love can do
O Allah open up our hearts
And make us feel how it's so real with You!

Allah, everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You
'Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
Yes everyday I'll try to be as true as I can to You
'Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan

"Salam Alaikum" Lyrics:

You can try and turn off the sun
I’m still going to shine away, yeah
And tell everyone
We’re having some fun today
We can go wherever you want to
And do whatever you like
Let’s just have a real good time

CHORUS:
Assalamu Alaikum, Alaikum yeah!
(Peace be upon you)

I just want to spread love and peace
And all of my happiness, yeah
To everyone I that meet
‘Cause I'm feeling spectacular
I love it when we love one another
Give thanks everyday
For this life, living with a smile on our face

CHORUS

Spread peace on the earth
Cherish the love that is around us
Spread peace on the earth
Treasure the love, let it surround us
Always be kind, always remind one another
Peace on the earth everyday

CHORUS

Assalamu Alaikum, hey!
Assalamu Alaikum, hey!
Assalamu Alaikum
Wa Alaikum Assalam

Spread peace on the earth
Cherish the love that is around us
Spread peace on the earth every day
