Geography Anyone?

Want to test your knowledge of middle eastern geography? Teachers can use this interactive tool in their classrooms. I won't say how many I got right but you can be sure that I'll be going back to this site and using it as a personal learning tool.

Lyrics:
♥ [chorus]
Who's gonna be my Valentine? Who's gonna watch my beauty shine?
I'll shine right through your walls of steel.
I'll shine until I make you feel a little more than a moment in time.
Who's gonna be my Valentine?

♥ [verse]
Who's gonna get me through this night?
Who's gonna kiss and hold me tight?
Young lovers are watching the same moon as I.
As stars will fall my wishes rise!

♥ [verse]
Someone is smiling as I sing this song.
Are they wishing and hoping and singing along?
Are they walking a tightrope up on a high wire?
Are they looking like me and stoking the fire?

♥ [repeat chorus]

♥ [verse]
Is there anybody out there? Pick up the phone.
Call on my neighbor. Tell them I'm home.
Tell them I love them and I wish them kind.
I'm searching the cosmos for my Valentine!

Congratulations to the Egyptian People

Sound of Freedom

i went to the streets and said i will not come back

and with my blood i wrote in every street

we made those who did not hear us listen

and all barriers were broken

our weapon was our dreams

and tomorrow is clear ahead of us

we've been waiting a long time

searching but not finding our place

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling

we put our heads to the sky

and our hunger no longer mattered

most important is our right

and we write our history with our blood

if you were one of us

stop talking and telling us

to walk away and abandon our dream

stop saying "i"

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling

my life in Egypt is dark and within it ... it is spread through change, it breaks the frames, the salt of its beautiful youth turned its autumn spring, they accomplished a miracle, the brought the dead from death, kill me, my food will not will not bring your country again, with my blood i write another life for my country, my blood gave spring its green color, i smile from happiness ...

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling

in every street in my country

the voice of freedom is calling
