Aida The Gods Love Nubia (kelly Price) Lyrics

The Gods Love Nubia (kelly Price) Lyrics

Take me in my dreams recurring

 Cheerful as a childhood dance

 Into one more taste of freedom

 One more longing backward glance

 

 In the sway of somber music

 I shall never, never understand

 Let me slip into the sweeter

 Chorus of that other land

 

 

 The gods love Nubia, the beautiful, the golden

 The radiant, the fertile, the gentle and the blessed

 The pain of Nubia is only of the moment

 The desolate, the suffering, the plundered, the oppressed

 

 

 The gods love Nubia, the glorious creation

 The songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain

 The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration

 They wash into the river and are never cried again

 

 

 The gods love Nubia, we have to keep believing

 The scattered and divided, we are still it's heart

 The fall of Nubia, ephemeral and fleeting

 The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart
