As an action of supporting the Blog About Jordan Day,initiated by Qwaider, I am repeating my first post on this blog...
It always bothers me when I compare; when I listen to the German, the Greek, or the American national anthems I hear sentences about the freedom that is contained in the bones, the liberty that is worth every soul, and the brotherhood that will build the country. I have always wondered why I dont have such a National Anthem. In Jordan we have only a "Royal Anthem = السلام الملكي" which starts with " Long live the King!" and which is not bad because it shows our love to the leader, but why in addition to that we dont have a national anthem that shows our love to Jordan? I think this would be a good idea, wouldnt it?
Peace be upon you my Jordan

We can have more than one. Just like in the US, there are more than one patriotic song that transcends through the generation. So "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Amazing grace" are both acknowledged, and I'm sure there are more
There are many great poems that can be candidate to be national Anthems that could augment the Royal anthem and this way we can have two :)
We can use Fairouz's song, Ordon Ard al 3azm
Thank you Qwaider for the Idea, this would make one of my dreams come true for the meaning it holds.
