Egypt Songtext
von Fetsum

I was born by a mosque in Egypt
While preachers were crying
Mother couldn′t hear my voice that evening
She was deaf at that time
A young girl at the age of 17
With the ideas in her mind
Passed the torch to the next generation
Giving birth to a child


To her left there were sycamore trees
And there were figs to her right
She would put a cotton veil on my face just to
Keep the sands from my eyes
Along the river Nile a myriad of tribes
Made tears pour like rain
That's when she whispered humble words to my ear
Saying thanks for saving my life

You took me to the place where the sun is
You showed me how to dance in the rain
Remember when you said it′s the moment that counts
And don't you worry when your memory fades
You took me to the place where the sun is
You showed me how to dance in the rain
Remember when you said it's the moment that counts
And don′t you worry when your memory fades

She said, she said
She said, she said
She said don′t you worry when your memory fades
Hurry when your memory fades
Oh don't you worry when your memory fades
