Syria (i/ˈsɪ.rɪə/; Arabic: سوريا or سورية, Sūriyā or Sūrīyah), officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a country in Western Asia. De jure Syrian territory borders Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest, but the government's control now extends to approximately 30–40% of the de jure state area and less than 60% of the population.

A country of fertile plains, high mountains, and deserts, Syria is home to diverse ethnic and religious groups, including Syrian Arabs, Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds, Circassians,Mandeans and Turks. Religious groups include Sunnis, Christians, Alawites, Druze, Mandeans, Shiites, Salafis, and Yazidis. Sunni Arabs make up the largest population group in Syria.

In English, the name "Syria" was formerly synonymous with the Levant (known in Arabic as al-Sham), while the modern state encompasses the sites of several ancient kingdoms and empires, including the Eblan civilization of the 3rd millennium BC. Its capital Damascus is among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In the Islamic era, Damascus was the seat of the Umayyad Caliphate and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt.

Syrie (Beirut)

Syrie was an official organ of the French High Commission. Therefore, it had a pro-French stance.

Dreaming

by: Zero 7

I?ve sworn, my love
I?ve been reborn, my love
Don?t be forlorn, my love
I?ve torn my heart
Do not mourn my depart
I?ve been reborn, my love
I'm watching you
There's nothing they can do
Now, I'm reborn, my love
Yeah, you must believe
You?ll live on without me
I?m leaving all my love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
Don?t fear my friend 'cause there is no real end
I?ve been reborn, my love
I?m happy here, I have nothing to fear
I?m getting all the love, oh, yeah
So, shed a tear for all the happy years
And just move on, my love
I?ll ride this crowd and when your time comes 'round
We?ll need all our love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
