Across The Nile lyrics

Wave your flag high above your head

You deserve to smile, celebrate in style

'Cause everything that oppressed 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
