And i cry again as i did for Egypt
Maidens fall and children weep
Bombs,screams,never ending

Boom! Boom! comes the sounds of the night

Touch me with beautiful words
And i shall touch you with my gaze
Play the viola and i shall stare
Play the Krar and i am in awe
Play the Nyatiti and i will wonder
Play the violin and i shall weep
Play the flute and i shall melt-
Play the piano and you shall confuse me
Oh the beautiful guitar
