How I Know You

Mereb:

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

Aida:

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

Mereb:

I never have abandoned
And nor I think could you
That spark of hope for freedom
No terror can subdue

Aida:

My only hope is silence
You've never seen my face

Mereb:

No you remain a princess
In any time or place

Aida:

You don't know me

Mereb:

Yes, I know you

Aida:

You don't know me

Mereb:

How I know you
How I know you
