	Translated Lyrics: A’tini Nay -- “Bring the Flute” Bring the flute and sing, that is the secret of eternity... And the wailing of the flute remains, even after the end of existence... Have you taken the forest, rather than the palace, to be your home? Have you climbed up the creeks and the rocks? Have you bathed in perfume and then dried yourself with sunlight? Have you tasted the wine of the early morning from goblets of ether? Bring the flute and sing, that is the secret of eternity... And the wailing of the flute remains, even after the end of life... Have you sat alone at dusk among the grapevines... Among their clusters hanging like chandeliers of gold...? Have you made the grass your night-time bed? Have you wrapped yourself in the evening air with the sky for a blanket? So that you can allow the future to come and let go of the past? Bring me the flute and sing, so our hearts may be in balance... And the wailing of the flute remains, even after the end of all sins... Bring me the flute and sing, forget maladies and their cures... For people are but lines of poetry written in the water... Poem by Khalil Gibran

	Poem by Cameron Powers: "The Eyes of Egypt are Upon You" The eyes of Egypt are upon you now... The ancient valleys of the Nile. of the Tigris and Euphrates... the Jordan River is calling you now... it's time to begin the dance open your arms and your heart go out into the desert under the starry night find your Bedouin friends they've been there for thousands and thousands of years and they won't desert you now there's a temple buried under every rock feel the pulse beating take the whole world to be your lover ancient songs are calling you to sing don't wait any longer it's time to go the heart and soul of the universe is ready right now!
