How I Know You

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 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 I'm 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
You've never seen my face
No, you remain a princess
In any time or place

You don't know me
Yes, I know you
You don't know me
How I know you, how I know you.
