How I Know You (reprise) Lyrics

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



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



I never have abandoned

And nor I think could you

That spark of hope for freedom

No terror can subdue



My only hope is silence

You've never seen my face

No you remain a princess

In any time or place



You don't know me

Yes, I know you

You don't know me



How I know you

How I know you
