How I Know You

i grew up in your home town
at least began to grow
i hadnt got to my first shave
before the body blow
egyptians in the court yard
my family in chains
you witnessed our abduction
which possibly explains
how i know you
yes i know you
before that fateful
my family enjoyed
a priviledged existance
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
for now I'm just a slave, like you
our lives are 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 anytime or place
you don't know me
yes i know you
you don't know me
how i know you
how i know you
