Is water worth more in the desert
Than the bright diamonds that sparkle
Crystal transparent particles, that flows
The same, in need, in want, to have, to own
In its perspective value enough to kill for
In its desired richness to be had
What of camels, yes camels
Are camels worth more in the desert
Than the stud bred for the grand national
Dressage for Olympic gold medals
Who would carry me to free Timbuktu
To save those old manuscripts that holds my history
