Lyrics

Verse 1
If I had a magic wand
I’d feed the people by the sea
Turn them in to beautiful people
With beautiful places to be

Verse 2
As I read the news today
Everything’s in disarray
Thousands of people trying to make it on the street
What will happen to the fate they will meet?

Pre Chorus
Ooh, nasayt u taqriban (Oooh, I’ve almost forgotten)
Keef tahess albaga feelwatan (What it feels like to be home)

Chorus
Astalqi wa-qfal 'ayni (I lay back and close my eyes)
A'ood heeth kuntu tifla (I go back to when I was a child)
Ashoof shaykhan jalisan 'ala shari' (See the old man sittin at the corner of the street)
Ahlami al - awda 'ilal -watan (Oh I wanna go home)
Arjook la tansani (So please don’t forget me)

Verse 3
I’m from a small country by the sea
Will you come with me to visit my family?
My tears are on hold for the day eee
I’ll go back to the place I was born

Verse 4
Take me on a boat across the ocean
Where clear blue water meets the land
I remember how you used to be my every thing
Oh, I can’t accept you might be gone

Pre Chorus
Ooh, nasayt u taqriban (Oooh, I’ve almost forgotten)
Keef tahess albaga feelwatan (What it feels like to be home)

Chorus
Astalqi wa-qfal 'ayni (I lay back and close my eyes)
A'ood heeth kuntu tifla (I go back to when I was a child)
Ashoof shaykhan jalisan 'ala shari' (See the old man sittin at the corner of the street)
Ahlami al - awda 'ilal -watan (Oh I wanna go home)

Bridge
Arjook la tansani (Please don’t forget me)
Please don’t forget me
Min fadhlak la tansani (Please don’t forget me)
Ahlami al - awda 'ilal -watan (Oh I wanna go home)

Broken down chorus
Astalqi wa-qfal 'ayni (I lay back and close my eyes)
A'ood heeth kuntu tifla (I go back to when I was a child)
Ashoof shaykhan jalisan 'ala shari' (See the old man sittin at the corner of the street)
Ahlami al - awda 'ilal -watan (Oh I wanna go home)

Big chorus out
Astalqi wa-qfal 'ayni (I lay back and close my eyes)
A'ood heeth kuntu tifla (I go back to when I was a child)
Ashoof shaykhan jalisan 'ala shari' (See the old man sittin at the corner of the street)
Ahlami al - awda 'ilal -watan (Oh I wanna go home)
Arjook la tansani (So please don’t forget me)
Min fadhlak la tansani (Please don’t forget me)
