Me and my Camel
Me and my Camel
We’ve come a
long long way
Such a long
long way
But I don’t
know where my journey will end
I see others
on the way,
I don’t know if they are my friend
I am alone,
and for myself I must fend
I would give
anything for me and my camel
To have a
real friend.
Me and my
Camel
Me and my
Camel
We’ve come a
long long way
Such a long
long way
Life in my
county can be dusty and quick
People
easily can fool you with a word
But it’s a
trick
And before
you know it, your possessions are threatened
With the
sound of a trigger click
And all you
have left is your multicolored blanket
Dreams of
your herd, and a twig or a stick
As a
young Awlad Ali’s I am trying to avoid
the Army
But I don’t
know which way to go so they don’t conscript me.
Me and my
Camel
Me and my
Camel
We’ve come a
long long way
Such a long
long way.
