Jordan (/ˈdʒɔːrdən/; Arabic: الأردن Al-Urdun), officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية Al-Mamlakah Al-Urduniyah Al-Hashimiyah), is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the east and south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, and Israel and Palestine to the west. Since the dawn of civilization, the country's location at the crossroads of the Middle East has served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
Archaeologists found evidence on inhabitance dating as far back as the Paleolithic period. Three kingdoms emerged on the territory of modern Jordan at the very end of the Bronze Age: Ammon, Moab and Edom. The lands were later part of several kingdoms and empires, most notably the Nabatean Kingdom, the Roman Empire and finally the Ottoman Empire from the 16th until the early 20th century. After the Partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after World war I by Britain and France, the Emirate of Transjordan was officially recognized by the Council of the League of Nations in 1922. In 1946, Jordan became an independent sovereign state officially known as The Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. The capture of the West Bank by Jordan during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War has showed that the Arab Legion forces known today as the Jordanian Armed Forces were the most effective among the Arab troops involved in the war. The same year, Abdullah I took the title King of Jordan. The name of the state was changed to The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 1 December 1948.

They told me be careful
They said be weary of you
They warn persistence is the fatal flaw
I find myself waiting
Find myself hoping that you?l
One day fall into my open arms
But it? ok, you can just call me friend
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
But I?e been here a time or two
Like trying to fight the dying breath
Why is every step I take so damn hard
I?e got some battle wounds from this
I?e got the sinking feeling in my skin
I? getting tired of the night
Just waiting for the light
But it? ok, you can just call me friend
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
But it? ok, you can just call me friend
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
They said be weary of you
