The Nile Sleeps (original)

verse 1 The Nile sleeps, a silent, dark expanse, But in the deep, a green shoot starts to climb. Osiris stirs, and offers us a chance To mend the broken edges of our time. verse 2 No more the echo of a separate heart, Let hands that toiled in isolation cease. From scattered fragments, we must make a start, And weave a tapestry of shared peace. chorus: Chorus: mee-kah-mah goh-hoh pee-ah-deh zod-ee-reh koh-em-ess-el-hoh ah-zod-ee-eh-en bee-ah-beh oh-ess-loh-en-doh-hoh verse 3 O, ancestors who walked this sacred ground, Whose bones are soil, whose breath is in the air, Let your old wisdom in our hearts resound, And guide your children from this world of care. verse 4 Then rise with him to meet the coming sun, The old, dark night of spirit is undone. Chorus: mee-kah-mah goh-hoh pee-ah-deh zod-ee-reh koh-em-ess-el-hoh ah-zod-ee-eh-en bee-ah-beh oh-ess-loh-en-doh-hoh
