Destiny
Mohamed Abouelseoud 1977 (Alexandria)
Somewhere, somehow
A new born baby starts to cry
Wants to tell the world I came to try
To make the elephant fly
Somewhere, somehow
A very old man starts to cry
Wants to stop his trip to sky
Just to have sometime to say goodbye
Somewhere, somehow
There is someone watching from the sky
Maybe he’ll let the elephant fly
But will be there a time to say goodbye
