Words of Love and Hope

for Birland State at Bir Tawil

 

 

I send you words of love

O Birland

once Terra Nullius

 

and  together we will build

bridges to Peace.

 

I send you words of hope

O Birland

now Promised Land

 

and together we will fill

the blank pages of your History.

 

And when the wind blows

over the bare dunes

our voices in unison

will become prayers

carried by the wind

 

our voices

will become a new song

echoing in the distance

O Land of Bir Tawil

a song that will not get lost

 

towards that endless, golden horizon

of sand and rock.
