Arabian Desert Winds

Voices of freedom are echoing in Tunisia
Where the flames of democracy was ignited by a martyr

Tunisians want to be free!

Pyramids of Egypt stand proud in Tahrir Square
Carved into the Dead Sea faces of its people's revolt

Egyptians want to be free!

Last gasps of a Libyan father at a deadly demonstration
While UN bombs avenge his people's aspirations for democracy

Libyans want to be free!

Yemen's civil war is at hand as its dead is infinitely scattered
While tribal fighters converge, democracy waits in tears

Yemenis want to be free!

Syrian legitimacy is at stake by democracy knocking at its door
While mothers dedicate their lives to their slain sons and daughters

Syrians want to be free!

Arab dictators are worried about their hold on power
While desert winds are blowing a paradigm shift their way

Arabs want to be free!
