This artful spire
This minaret
With bold white lines
And floral whimsy
This minaret
With bold white lines
And floral whimsy
Reaching up
Where black kites soar
In deep blue skies
With wispy cloud
And from the top
The calls to prayer
Are sung five times
To rally faithful
Soon they come
To show their faith
In one true god
None else but allah
Just like the Jews
And the Christians
All the people
Of the book
With bells
With horns
With song
We’re called
From the steeple
From Temple Mount
From minaret
We’re called
Pray to Jesus
Pray to Yahweh
Pray to Allah
The one true God
Is God
