Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by tim rice<br>Elton's solo version is unreleased<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
