Zayed

There was a dream that seemed to be impossible

There was a man, determined to succeed

Son of the desert, good and true, invincible

You were the one to make our lives complete

With a vision of brotherhood of a leader and a king

You were the one, the wind beneath our wings

For all the visions you believed in

For the goals you have achieved

And for the peaceful ways you chose

The country flourished like a rose

For all the good things you did start

We want to thank you from our hearts

Your name will echo in our heads

A name we never will forget Zayed

There was a plan, that made you unforgettable

There was an aim, humble and true

You did understand your people and your history

Taking the chance, to do what´s right and good

With the sharp view of a bird of prey and a precious heart of gold

You were the one to make our wings unfold

For all the visions you believed in

For the goals you have achieved

And for the peaceful ways you chose

The country flourished like a rose

And as your light still shines upon us

We see a bright and new day dawn

The circle starts where it began

Your son will rule with peaceful hands Zayed

Like a falcon you have seen that far

Education´s the key to success

You did understand it right from the start

Caring for the weak and for the poorest

Our idol you´ll always be

Living forever in our hearts

For all the visions
