And Dream of Forever

Feet upon sand they walk

Through deserts wide and endless

And upon this land I see

Ancient relics living and surviving

I can touch your ancient face

I can see this ancient place

Touch the sky and feel the wrath of God

Immortality was what they sought after

And so wrapped their dead

Hoping that a pharaoh would return

And lead them into a new age

I can read those ancient things

And revel in the joy it brings

Touch your heart and dream of forever

Pyramids rising from this ancient land

Capture imagination and poetry and prose

Those enlightened ones from the past

Bring to us prophecy of the future

I can see through ancient eyes

As if we see the same skies

And all of this awaits me there

Feet upon sand they walk

Through deserts vast and eternal

They left us knowledge and the truth

And all for us to see

I can read those ancient writings

So interesting and inviting

And Egypt calls to me like a living being

Touch your heart and dream of forever
