Fertile river valleys Cut through the burning desert sands Men gather into cities On the path that these sacred rivers ran Together man and water Cultivate their still born lands
From the river's source Flows the water of the high grounds Water gathers force Increasing volume and momentum Like men they amass Carving life into the sand dunes Rivers meet the sea Human population grew
Someone has to organize this Growing savage tribe Men to run the cities With plans that they've devised
Builder of the walls Maker of the laws Leader of the wars Back inside his guarded palace Ruler over all
