Worry.
the heat, unbearable to the dried crops,
the soil needs to drink from the Gods,
the Nile, her refreshing cool waters lay still,
only hope will only save us now...

Fear.
the endless drought continues to burn,
the farmer prays for a heaven sent miracle,
the Nile, her blue tides remain calm,
only hope will save us now...

Safety.
the soil bathes in the refreshing waters,
the family cries joy,
the Nile, her waves overflow smoothly,
only hope has saved us now...

Praise.
the crops grow like children,
the family praises “Hapi” for her blessing,
the Nile, her flood provides new life to others,
only hope has saved us now.
