Elton John - The Gods Love Nubia (Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida)
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

| Stunning song off a stunning album. Im still amazed that it never became a hit, but maybe even Elton John is too. I would think at this point - though he's made a ton of money off it - he cringes everytime he hears Bennie in the Jets or Good Bye Yellow Brick Road in the elevator...or has to play it live. |
