Bebol Bower *
They came
The rich and the boor
The tall and the small
They came
The cultured and the crude
The young and the old
They came
Leaving back the fear
they wore for years
… and came
In Egybt:
The Nile is once again flowing
The wheat is once again growing
The bebol took back the street
Standing strong and falling broud
Bower to the bebol
beyond misbronunciation
For what’s in a “P”
You don’t need it to say “I’m free”

* Many Egyptians have difficulty pronouncing the P (which doesn’t exist in the Arabic language) often turning it into a B.
