Aida The Dance Of The Robe Lyrics

The Dance Of The Robe Lyrics

It's knowing what they want of me that scares me

It's knowing having followed, I must lead

It's knowing that each person there compares me

To those in my past whom I now succeed



But how can whatever I do for them now

Be enough, be enough



Aida, Aida

All we ask of you

Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage

To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do

Aida, Aida



Your robe should be golden, your robe should be perfect

Instead of this ragged concoction of thread

But may you be moved by it's desperate beauty

To give us new life for we'd rather be dead



Then live in the squalor and shame of the slave

To the dance, to the dance



Aida, Aida

All we ask of you

All we ask is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage

To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do

Aida, Aida



Aida

Aida, Aida

Aida, Aida, Aida



I know expectations are wild and almost beyond my fulfillment

But they won't hear a word of a doubt or see signs of weakness

My nigh on impossible duty is clear



If I can rekindle my ancestors' dreams

It's enough, it's enough, it's enough

  (Aida, Aida, Aida, Aida, Aida, Aida)

It's enough
