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
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
