           A#m        C#
Wave your flag high above your head
       G#                   D#m
You deserve to smile, celebrate in style
      A#m                 C#                G#
Cause everything that depressed you now is gone

And eighteen days while the world looked on
You stood your ground, kept holding strong
Eighteen days while the world looked on

Chorus:
F#                         A#m
Across the Nile there are stars tonight
           C#                        G#
And they shine much brighter than before
F#                                 A#m
Across the Nile there's peace and love tonight
         C#                       G#
And it shows much stronger than before
                      A#m
Much stronger than before

Free and fair life they said it would be
Cross our fingers, wait and see
And dream of a better day

And across the world you've shown them all
That hope and strength can conquer all
Will we stand together again?

Chorus

 F#                      G#
Hope and strength can conquer all
        A#m
You've shown the world how the mighty fall
  C#                               G#
And across the Nile there are stars
                      C#
Much brighter than before
