Has anybody ever been to Lebanon?
|
Does anybody really care to go, at all?
|
Anybody want to go to Lebanon
|
Where you can read the writings on the wall?
|
|
Do the caravans still ride across the sand
|
Or is the season causing everything sacred to fall?
|
Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land
|
Or has their song been silenced over the centuries, to all?
|
|
Does the sun still kiss the earth in Lebanon?
|
Does the moonlight still reflect the sand at night?
|
Can a prophet still come out of Lebanon
|
Or has the thirst for profit changed the times?
|
|
Do Phonecian spirits dance across the sand?
|
Do the cedar trees still standing next to the ocean still grow?
|
Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land
|
Or has their song been silenced?
|
|
Does the temple still exist in Lebanon
|
Or have the winds of time been blowing hard, for all?
|
Does the mosque still sing the hymn of Lebanon
|
Reciting old inscriptions from the wall?
|
|
Do the caravans now crawl across the sand
|
And is the season causing everyone sacred to cry?
|
Can the people of the land still hear the call
|
Or has the song been silenced over the centuries, to all?
|
