Dance Of The Robe
Original Broadway Cast

It's knowing what they want of me

That scares me

It's knowing having followed her

Must lead

It's knowing that each person there

Compares me to those in my past

Whom I now succeed

But how can whatever I do for them now

Be enough, be enough


Aida, Aida, all we ask of you

Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage

To ask more, would be selfish

But nothing less will do

Aida, Aida


Your robes should golden

Your robes should be perfect

Instead of this ragged concoction of thread

But may you be moved by it's desperate beauty

To give us new life, for we'd rather be dead

Than live in the squaller and chain of the slave

To the dance, to the dance


Aida, Aida, all we ask of you

Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage

To ask more, would be selfish

But nothing less will do

Aida, Aida


(Dance break)


Aida, Aida, Aida, Aida, Aida


I know expectations are wild

And almost beyond my fulfillment

But they wont hear a word of a doubt

Or sign of weakness

My nigh, on impossible duty is clear

But if I can rekindle our ancestors dreams

It's enough, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough
