The Gods Love Nubia Lyrics - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Take me in my dreams recurring 

Cheerful as a childhood dance 

Into one more taste of freedom 

One more longing backward glance 

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, 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 

oh my spirit will keep on burning unless it's torn apart 

Take me in my dreams recurring 

One more longing backward glance
