Memoir Sonata - Lawrence of Arabia

Far to east, lays an ocean made of sand
O'er dunes, sunlight swallows night
Through holy lands his trusty camel's back he rides
He serves with honor and with pride, pride
More than three thousand miles away
French trenches covered in mud
Brave men fighting in their great war
To end all wars
Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Alone
A secret mission, for land and Queen
Arabia, nineteensixteen
Legend says that no man nor god
Could cross the wasteland alive
And legends don't lie
War's a vicious beast
An empire's rising in the east
Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Where time stands
All men dream: but not equally
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake up in the day
to find that it was vanity
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men
to make it possible
They may act their dreams with open eyes
Eyes open wide
More than three thousand miles away
French trenches covered in mud
Brave men fighting in their great war
To end all wars
Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Alone
Lawrence of Arabia
His legacy's written in sand
Travelin' through the Holy Lands
Where time stands
(Still)
