Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Dear mother, dear father, brothers, sisters, friends,
I’m singing this with shaking hands, afraid you’ll turn away again.
I was once where you are now, five prayers and no doubt,
The same rug beneath my knees, the same words in my mouth.
I loved the sound of morning adhan, the peace I thought I’d found,
But something quietly broke inside when I dared to look around.
I’m not angry, please believe me… I’m only trying to breathe.
I found a love that doesn’t ask me to die to prove I’m true,
A love that laid His own life down and whispered, “I did this for you.”
He never turned my heart to stone; He melted it brand new.
I wish you could feel what I feel now… I’m still the same son who loves you.
(Verse 2)
I know the verses by heart still, they live inside my mind,
But when I read them side by side with grace I couldn’t leave behind,
I saw the fear that ruled my days, the guilt that owned my nights,
And I met mercy that doesn’t weigh, that simply holds me tight.
I’m not asking you to throw away the childhood that we shared,
I’m only begging: look again… what if there’s more than fear?
I miss breaking fast with you, the laughter around the plate,
I miss the way we used to pray shoulder to shoulder, feeling safe.
I’m not your enemy, I swear, I’m still the boy you raised,
I just woke up from a dream and I’m terrified and amazed.
(Chorus)
I found a love that carries scars so I will never have to bleed,
A love that says “forgive them” even while nailed upon a tree.
He asks me to love you still, even if you can’t love me.
Please, just once, ask yourself why… and know I’m praying on my knees.
(Outro)
I haven’t stopped loving you… I never will.
If you ever doubt, if you ever hurt, if you ever need to talk,
I’ll be waiting with open arms, walking the path that led me to the Light.
You are my family.
This is my heart, not my war.
Dear mother, dear father, brothers, sisters, friends,
I’m singing this with shaking hands, afraid you’ll turn away again.
I was once where you are now, five prayers and no doubt,
The same rug beneath my knees, the same words in my mouth.
I loved the sound of morning adhan, the peace I thought I’d found,
But something quietly broke inside when I dared to look around.
I’m not angry, please believe me… I’m only trying to breathe.
I found a love that doesn’t ask me to die to prove I’m true,
A love that laid His own life down and whispered, “I did this for you.”
He never turned my heart to stone; He melted it brand new.
I wish you could feel what I feel now… I’m still the same son who loves you.

But when I read them side by side with grace I couldn’t leave behind,

And I met mercy that doesn’t weigh, that simply holds me tight.
I’m not asking you to throw away the childhood that we shared,
I’m only begging: look again… what if there’s more than fear?

A love that says “forgive them” even while nailed upon a tree.
He asks me to love you still, even if you can’t love me.
Please, just once, ask yourself why… and know I’m praying on my knees.
(Outro)
I haven’t stopped loving you… I never will.
If you ever doubt, if you ever hurt, if you ever need to talk,
I’ll be waiting with open arms, walking the path that led me to the Light.
You are my family.
This is my heart, not my war.
About this song
"Letter to My Family" stands as the most personal and vulnerable track on the Robots of Allah! album. Delivered in a raw, trembling-voice style, the song takes the form of a real letter to parents, siblings, and relatives, revealing the inner turmoil of someone who has left Islam.
It touches on the deep love the narrator still feels for their family, the fear of being seen as a traitor or “dead” to them, and the heavy price of apostasy, social exile, emotional blackmail, or worse.
The lyrics explain the reasons for departure: discovering contradictions in the Quran, the weight of Sharia’s rules, the inability to reconcile certain teachings with conscience, and the liberating realization that they can no longer pretend to believe.
The song beautifully balances sorrow and strength — mourning the lost relationship while asserting the right to think freely and live authentically. It humanizes the ex-Muslim experience, showing that leaving the faith is rarely done lightly or with hatred, but often with tears, guilt, and lingering affection for the family left behind.
This track serves as both a deeply moving confession and a quiet cry for compassion — hoping that one day the family will understand that walking away wasn’t rebellion, but the honest pursuit of truth.
