Wave your flag high above your head,
|
You deserve to smile, celebrate in style.
|
Cause everything that depressed you now is gone.
|
|
And eighteen days while the world looked on,
|
You stood your ground, kept holding strong.
|
Eighteen days while the world looked on.
|
|
Across the Nile there are stars tonight
|
And they shine much brighter than before.
|
Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight
|
And it shows much stronger than before.
|
Much stronger than before.
|
|
Free and fair life they said it would be,
|
Cross our fingers, wait and see
|
And dream of a better day.
|
And across the world you've shown them all
|
That hope and strength can conquer all.
|
Will we stand together again?
|
|
Across the Nile there are stars tonight
|
And they shine much brighter than before.
|
Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight
|
And it shows much stronger than before.
|
Much stronger than before.
|
|
Hope and strength can conquer all,
|
You've shown the world how the mighty fall.
|
And across the Nile there are stars
|
Much brighter than before.
