[Intro]
Whispers of Cairo streets beneath the sunlit sky
A girl with a suitcase of memories wanders by
[Verse 1]
Father’s hand on mine, map unfolded like a prayer
Ancient stones remember steps we borrowed from the air
Markets hum in colors, saffron, jade, and gold
We hunt for small miracles in alleys brave and old
[Chorus]
I trace the echoes of a time I wore as gloves
Dad beside me, teaching patience, teaching love
In every doorway, a story rises, then fades away
But I keep the light he gave me for another day
[Verse 2]
We sail through the Nile’s soft whisper, a silver thread
Faces drift like postcards of people we met and left
Moon over the pyramids, a watcher of our vow
To hold onto the wonder even when we’re far from now
[Chorus]
I trace the echoes of a time I wore as gloves
Dad beside me, teaching patience, teaching love
In every doorway, a story rises, then fades away
But I keep the light he gave me for another day
[Bridge]
If I could bottle Cairo, I’d pour it in the rain
So tomorrow could drink some courage from the same refrain
[Chorus]
I trace the echoes of a time I wore as gloves
Dad beside me, teaching patience, teaching love
In every doorway, a story rises, then fades away
But I keep the light he gave me for another day
[Outro]
Past and present mingle where the palms and prayers align
A girl and her father, learning how to shine
