Sting şarkı sözleri
From the mountains of the moon to the mighty deltaFrom the deserts of the West to the shining seaBeneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent riverFlowing through my father's land that he left to meFrom the baker to the priest to the candle makerFrom the highest to the low in my father's landWe make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morningOr else everything we have will just turn to sandI have a lot to askI have a lot that I need to sayI have so much to doAnd all I need is another dayFrom the soldier to the scribe to the carpet makerAll the different colored threads in a carpet loomA woven tapestry of life is our mighty nationThis is the writing on the wall of my father's tombWe have a lot to askWe have a lot that we need to sayWe have so much to doAnd all we need is another dayBeneath the desert moon I call youBeneath the desert moon I singBeneath the desert moon so lonelyI'm just a boy who would be kingWith just the moon to guide usWe sometimes lose our wayIf there's a light inside usWe'll follow, follow it to the brightness of the dayEvery single blade of grass every yellow flowerEvery ripple on the sea or the blue blue NileEvery leaf on every tree every single creatureFrom the smallest little bird to the crocodileWe have a lot to askWe have a lot that we need to sayWe have so much to doAnd all we need is another dayBeneath the desert moon I call youBeneath the desert moon we singBeneath the desert moon we're waitingBefore the coming of the kingBeneath the desert moon that's sinkingWe see the Eastern skies on fireThis is where darkness leavesAnd shining waters fallAnd let the shadows runAnd we'll say, "welcome to the sun"Brand new day...From the mountains of the moon to the mighty deltaFrom the deserts of the West to the shining seaBeneath the canopy of stars flowed the serpent riverFlowing through my father's land that he left to me
