[Verse I]
We takin' it back to the dawn of time,
Where the rivers ran deep and the mountains climbed,
The Near East, land of ancient minds,
Where the roots of the world are intertwined.

Sumer, Babylon, Mesopotamia's pride,
First cities rise, where the secrets hide,
Cuneiform writing, the dawn of thought,
Ideas on clay, lessons that they taught.

The Nile flows, the Pharaohs stand tall,
Pyramids rise, answering the call,
From Egypt to Persia, kings wore the crown,
Their legacy’s strong, it’s still holdin’ it down.

Jerusalem's walls, a city of might,
Where the prophets spoke and the stars lit the night,
The stories of old, passed through the flame,
A land so ancient, it's more than a name.

[Chorus]
This is the Near East, where the story's been told,
From the first written words to the temples of gold,
From the rivers to the hills, through the deserts so wide,
We walk in the footsteps where the ancients reside.

This is the Near East, where the kings once ruled,
Where the wisdom of ages still shines like a jewel,
From the cradle of life to the land of the sun,
The history’s deep, it’s where it all begun.

[Verse II]
In the ziggurats of Ur, they built to the sky,
Worshippers prayin', never askin' why,
The Babylonians rise, their empire spreads,
With the Hanging Gardens, they ruled the beds.

The Assyrians march, fierce and proud,
Their armies were legends, their weapons loud,
From Nineveh’s gates to the Euphrates' flow,
They carved their names where the rivers go.

Cyrus the Great, Persia’s shining star,
Conquered the lands from near and far,
Built the empire, with respect to all,
Said, "Let 'em worship, let 'em stand tall."

In Egypt, they charted the stars in the sky,
Mapped out the heavens, no question why,
The wisdom of Ra, the power of the sun,
From the first to the last, they were second... second to none.

This is the Near East, where the kings once ruled,
Where the wisdom of ages still shines like a jewel,
From the cradle of life to the land of the sun,
The history’s deep, it’s where it all begun.

This is the Near East, where the story's been told,
From the first written words to the temples of gold,
From the rivers to the hills, through the deserts so wide,
We walk in the footsteps where the ancients reside.

This is the Near East, where the kings once ruled,
Where the wisdom of ages still shines like a jewel,
From the cradle of life to the land of the sun,
The history’s deep, it’s where it all begun.

[Solo]
...

[Piano Interlude]
...

[Bridge]
So we honor the lands where it all took root,
From the first to the pharaohs, they laid down the truth,
From the ziggurats high to the sands of the Nile,
The Near East remains, in the ancient style.
Second to none!
Second to none!

[Chorus]
