The greatest love stories
Are engraved in eternity
And a river’s memory
Flowing through centuries of time
Yet it seems like only yesterday

What secrets do you hide
What mysteries inside
As over rocks and pebbles you do flow
What epic do you carry
Through every nook and cranny
As down from mount to ocean you go

Every drop – a microcosm of history
The best times encapsulated for eternity
Born of the sun
Your journey had begun
With spark with fire
With predictions dire
And through the ups and downs
Through smiles and tears and frowns
You flow on and on…
Through space and time…
Enriching, eternal, divine
Nile!
