Red Bank Sand

Intro

Oh oh oh

Ai ya ya

Mmm

Verse 1

Beneath the red bank sand

I watch the heavy palms sway high

River ripples wash over my dry hand

Moving slow and steady

Pre-Chorus

Ancient water flows

Where the tall grass grows

Sudan breeze blows

Chorus

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Heart of my mother

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Way of my father

Verse 2

Stars start their night watch

Silt gets stuck under my broken nail

Boat waits at the wooden dock

Silent shadow drifts

Pre-Chorus

Ancient water flows

Where the tall grass grows

Sudan breeze blows

Chorus

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Heart of my mother

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Way of my father

Bridge

Brown earth

Sweet earth

Rich earth

I taste the cooling spray

Waiting for another long day

Long way back to you

Chorus

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Heart of my mother

Home is the blue Nile water

Blue Nile water

Way of my father
