Out on your own in the desert under a raging Sun
With only the will to succeed that keeps you moving on
Fighting for rights of a people that you will never know
Fighting for freedom of a country to which you were never born to
It's only a matter of going
We're only biding our time
It's only a matter of going
We're only taking our time
Your inadvertent teachings of perseverance and valour
Shows of inner strength in a very 'English manner'
Pure grit and determination backing up your ideals
As you ride out to liberate
Aqaba will be free!
It's only a matter of going
We're only biding our time
It's only a matter of going
We're only taking our time
Aqaba, Aqaba, Aqaba, Aqaba
It's only, it's only, it's only
A matter of going
A matter of going
The aggressor shall be destroyed
Nothing is written!
It's only a matter of going
We're only biding our time
It's only a matter of going
We're only taking our time...
