Streaming down the Nile
Sometimes life seems easy
Like a little stream starting from the top of a mountain
That keeps on floating down
Getting bigger and bigger
Till it ends in a wonderful lake
Where it keeps on going
Till the sun is burning too hot
And its beautiful water starts to disappear
Till its life ends in the best way it could be
After a long, long time of streaming
But when there’s a barrage at the end of the stream
Its water doesn’t get a chance
To reach that lake
And right then it’ll realise
That its end won’t be far away
So it slows down
Just when it's near that barrage
To be gone before it ever had a chance
To reach its goal
Carrying a spirit that will go on forever
