I grew up in your hometown, at least began to grow
I hadnt 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 you are his daughter, you probably can tell
How I know you
Yes, I know you
You know too much, and what you say is better left unknown
And now Im just a slave like you, our lives our not our own
I never have abandoned, and nor I think could you
That spark of hope for freedom no terror can subdue
My only hope is silence, youve never seen my face
No, you remain a princess in any time or place
You dont know me
Yes, I know you
You dont know me
How I know you
How I know you
How I Know You
