MARRAKECH SUNRISE 1977

Many times we've sat,

And watched a good sunset,

But the beauty of the skies,

Of the Marrakech sunrise!

Behind the Atlas Mountains,

There's a desert full of fountains,

Lakes of pale blue ice,

And golden coloured spice

And yellow sparkling sand,

Suspended from God's hand.

Today a brand new life,

Completely free from strife.
