Pharaoh’s Daughters

“She’s a modern girl
She can make her own decisions
She can make a difference
She can change her world

She’s Orion’s star
She can make her own religion
The Sun God Ra or something
She’s there, throwing rose petals in the Nile

And she thinks she’s Pharaoh’s Daughter
So she wakes up with a smile
And her real life doesn’t matter
So she dreams for a little while
And it sets her free

She’s a mystery
Wrapped up in a veil of secrets
The desert wind is blowing
She holds her veil tight

She’s a modern girl
Dressed up like Cleopatra
The desert river rises
She’s there, throwing rose petals in the Nile

And she thinks she’s Pharaoh’s Daughter
So she wakes up with a smile
And her real life doesn’t matter
So she dreams for a little while
And it sets her free

She looks into her heart
The deepest part
Lives a memory
And now she could swear
That she was there
Her veil lifts
In the desert wind

And she thinks she’s Pharaoh’s Daughter
So she wakes up with a smile
And her real life doesn’t matter
So she dreams for a little while
And it sets her free.”
