I was listening to 'Welcome Home' and thought to myself that this could be about Yusuf's Hajj. I don't know why I never thought of it before. I couldn't find anything on the internet about it but what do you guys think?
Welcome Home
Mecca is like a home away from home. It is a place where people from all over the world go and once you're there everyone is like your brother and sister. I could imagine for a convert who hasn't lived with many muslims it would be like being welcomed into a whole new family.
Saw a sign on the path
'All seekers this way'
Whoever seeks God and Islam should perform Hajj. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajj
Two soldiers stood and stared,
"No one passes by us, but, hey!
You're welcome here."
No one is allowed in Mecca (where Hajj is performed) except Muslims.
Never did I imagine
What a dawn could be
Till I opened my eyes, to see
It was welcoming me
Most people that go to Mecca say it is indescribable, something you could never "imagine" until you go. When they come back they say they were blown away and in tears.
At the end of my days
On my way home
It goes for a certain number of days. After you finish all the rituals you go back home.
I paused a while to gaze
Upon the Sacred Stone
There is a sacred stone in Islam called the Black Stone en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone and it is positioned in the eastern corner of the Ka'bah.
There it stood in the middle
Of the Holy Domain
The Ka'bah is in the middle of Mecca (the Holy Domain).
There are many different versions of the lyrics on the internet but I think this is the most accurate... please correct me if I'm wrong ;D
