Album: Aida

How I Know You

Mereb:

I grew up in your hometown

At least began to grow

I hadn't got to my first shave

before the body blow

Egyptians in the courtyard

My family in chains

You witnessed our abduction

Which possibly explains

How I know you

How I know you

Before that fateful morning

My family enjoyed

A privileged existence

For my father was employed

As advisor to the King no less

Which surely rings a bell

For as your are his daughter

You probably can tell

How I know you

Yes I know you

Aida:

You know too much and what you say

Is better left unknown

And now I'm just a slave like you

Our lives our not our own

Mereb:

I never have abandoned

And nor I think could you

That spark of hope for freedom

No terror can subdue

Aida:

My only hope is silence

You've never seen my face

Mereb:

No you remain a princess

In any time or place

Aida:

You don't know me

Mereb:

Yes, I know you

Aida:

You don't know me

Mereb:

How I know you

How I know you
