I wrote "River Nile" and created this video to try and capture a bit of my experience while visiting this amazing country. An ancient riverTwists and windsIn a current of Of years gone byIn mud and siltAnd waters deepWhispers wadeAnd secrets sleepOnward it flowsOut to the seaThrough desert sandIt ebbs and weavesCarving the land Thousands of milesRiver NileOver the banksLaborers tireLaying the stonesHigher and higherTombs adornedIn lapis and goldAnd lingering scentOf jasmine and roseWho will rememberMy life and creedNo statue or templeNoting my deedsBut a river I’ll crossWhen this journey endsBack to the watersI’ll go again
