[Verse 1]
Saudi Arabia's been whispering to Reuters on the side
They're thinking 'bout expanding where their oil can ride
A pipeline stretching westward to the Red Sea shore
So tankers skip the Hormuz and they don't need it anymore
Because Iran attacked a tanker in that narrow squeeze
And Riyadh wasn't silent — they condemned it with a freeze
[Chorus]
Corridors and pipelines, new routes being drawn
The Strait of Hormuz tension means the old maps are gone
Saudi banks and Emirati banks holding strong today
The geography of power's shifting, rerouting all the way
Gulf News, eighth of July, the region's on the move
New corridors, new alliances, everybody choosing who to groove with
[Verse 2]
Atlantic Council says these corridors mean something more
It's not just dodging Hormuz, there's a strategy in store
Egypt Oil and Gas confirms the east-to-west design
Saudi's building backup routes along a different pipeline line
And TheBanker says the Gulf finance is steady, holding firm
Even with Iran shock rattling, banks refusing to squirm
[Chorus]
Corridors and pipelines, new routes being drawn
The Strait of Hormuz tension means the old maps are gone
Saudi banks and Emirati banks holding strong today
The geography of power's shifting, rerouting all the way
Gulf News, eighth of July, the region's on the move
New corridors, new alliances, everybody choosing who to groove with
[Bridge]
Foreign Policy dropped something that turned a few heads around
A Saudi-led new axis with Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan's sound
Egypt's folded in the circle but the UAE stayed out
The Saudis building a rail corridor with Turkey — Israel's got doubt
South China Morning Post is counting three paths after conflict ends
The Middle East is redrawing every boundary and every friend
[Verse 3]
The Saudi-Turkish rail talk has Jerusalem watching close
الحرة reports the concerns from the ones who feel it most
Opinion writers counting futures like a branching tree
After Iran's war conclusion — what will this region be
Three paths mapped in newsprint, three directions for the dust
Pipelines, rails, and alliances — the region readjusts
[Verse 4]
The energy reporters say the Red Sea holds the key
Whoever controls the corridors controls the century
Vision 2030 written large across the desert sand
MBS is playing chess across the sea and land
Every barrel rerouted is a message to the world
That the maps drawn after oil shocks are getting rearranged and unfurled
[Chorus]
Corridors and pipelines, new routes being drawn
The Strait of Hormuz tension means the old maps are gone
Saudi banks and Emirati banks holding strong today
The geography of power's shifting, rerouting all the way
Gulf News, eighth of July, the region's on the move
New corridors, new alliances, everybody choosing who to groove with
