Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - The Gods Love Nubia lyrics
rate meSong by Kelly Price<br /><br>
Take me in my dreams recurring<br>
Cheerful as a childhood dance<br>
Into one more taste of freedom<br>
One more longing backward glance<br>
<br>
In the sway of somber music<br>
I shall never, never understand<br>
Let me slip into the sweeter<br>
Chorus of that other land<br>
<br>
The gods love Nubia, the beautiful, the golden<br>
The radiant, the fertile, the gentle and the blessed<br>
The pain of Nubia is only of the moment<br>
The desolate, the suffering, the plundered, the oppressed<br>
<br>
The gods love Nubia, the glorious creation<br>
The songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain<br>
The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration<br>
They wash into the river and are never cried again<br>
<br>
The gods love Nubia, we have to keep believing<br>
The scattered and divided, we are still it's heart<br>
The fall of Nubia, ephemeral and fleeting<br>
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart<br>
<br>
