Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - The Gods Love Nubia lyrics

rate me

Song 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>
