  • baraka, also barakah, in Arabic, Islam and Arab-influenced languages such as Swahili, Urdu, Persian, Turkish, meaning spiritual wisdom and blessing transmitted from God; or in a Sufi context, "breath of life"

Or to Kate Bush's "Love and Anger":
You might not, not think so now,
But just you wait and see
Someone will come to help you
