The Gods Love Nubia Lyrics

Kelly Price---The Gods Love Nubia 

 

 Music by Elton John 

 Lyrics by Tim Rice 

 

 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
