Morten Harket's song "Letter From Egypt" is about longing for home and feeling disconnected from those around you. The opening lines suggest that sometimes things happen naturally, but hunger and desire can make us impatient. Harket then encourages listeners to not force their way through life, but to let things unfold on their own. He reflects on the beauty of the stars shining above, even if we cannot see them, and the hope for something new to come. Later in the song, Harket shares his own experience of feeling distant from home and walking the streets alone. He finds solace in the fall leaves and the knowledge that everyone is on their own journey. Despite the melancholy tone, Harket ends the song on a hopeful note, assuring listeners that while everyone may be far from home, they will be okay. Throughout the song, the message is clear - even when we feel lost and disconnected, we are not alone in our struggles.
