Golden Age
D G D G Bm A G D Bm A G
In the Arabian Peninsula
Miles and miles of sand
To survive the heat, nomads they be
Wearing long loose clothes
There was a man named Muhammad
He preached Islam
He said share the wealth, take those idols down
Worship only one God.
It’s a Golden Age
Art, Education, and Trade
It’s a Golden Age
Spreading their new faith by
Missionaries, Conquests, and Trade
Islam has five pillars
Shadhadah, the belief in one God
Salat, Pray 5 times a day Zakat is charity
Siyam, fast during Rammadan
The Fifth pillar is the Hajj
A trip to Mecca
Quron the holy book Sharari’ah Islamic law
Mosques are where Muslims worship

After Muhummad Died, Islam survived
Led by the Caliphs, but unity did not last
New Groups ruled the lands, Sunni said Umayyads can
But Shia only followed the blood of Ali
It’s a Golden Age
Art, Education, and Trade
It’s a Golden Age
Spreading their new faith by
Missionaries, Conquests, and Trade
Lifeblood of Egypt
Am Dm
In between the rolling sands
Em Am
Lies a fertile land
Protected on every side
The Nile River provides
C
Lifeblood of Egypt,
Dm
Flowing North
Em
South Cataracts,
Am Em Am
None shall pass
Lifeblood of Egypt
flood’s bring silt
The Nile Delta
a Bread Basket
The Ancient land of Pharoahs
Ruled as gods and generals
In pyramid they lay
Em Am Em Am
So their Ka would have a place to stay
Removed the organs Dry pharoah out
Embalming for the after life
Pyramids looted, treasure so great
Now mummies hide in the Valley of Kings
To the south a land of gold
Nubia with whom they trade
Egypt bullied Kush so
the differences you can not see
Lifeblood of Egypt
Gift of the Nile
Kushites sailed north
With iron weapons
Kushites in Charge
the Black Pharaohs rule
Tried to bring back the
Egypt of Old
Hieroglyphics they write
meanings mystery to the mind
Rosetta stone makes clear
After study of many years
Lifeblood of Egypt
On time floods
Gift of the Nile
The land of Pharoahs
In between the rolling sands
Em Am
Lies a fertile land
Protected on every side
The Nile River provides

Lifeblood of Egypt,

The land of Pharoahs
