About Raef:
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.

The Path - Lyrics:

Swing across the seven skies
They say a pure heart never lies
The words you learned were never heard
It’s time to think and wonder why

The stars above will always be
A shining guide for us to see
And when I doubt, I'll have no doubt
But still I wonder why

Digging through our pages past
Wondering how the truth will last
God's in control is what I found
I think I'll try this time around!

And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one's going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!

And maybe I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

The heroes of our past unfold
Their glory is unique we're told
Their stories mark a precious past
But do we question why?

A quest for truth can never be
A light I’ve faked inside of me
I'll walk in shoes I've never felt
Only then I'll sure know why!

They tell me “Just make up your mind!”
The path I seek just needs a sign
The end is where I want to be
Which way I go is up to me!

And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one's going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!

And maybe I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

And I know that it hurts
When we stop and wonder: “Why?”
Yes I know that it hurts
Maybe time will heal the burns

And maybe you’ve felt the path I seek, and
I know you’ve cared as much as me
Our stories were shared for us to see, and
Perhaps it’s best to part and be!

And maybe I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I'll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
