[00:00.156] It's knowing what they want of me that scares me
[00:05.485] It's knowing, having followed, I must lead
[00:10.657] It's knowing that each person there compares me
[00:15.568] To those in my past whom I now succeed
[00:21.133] But how can whatever I do for them now be enough?
[00:29.100] Be enough
[00:35.213] Aida! Aida!
[00:39.471] All we ask of you
[00:42.866] Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage
[00:47.542] To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do
[00:54.439] Aida! Aida!
[01:06.011] Your robe should be golden, your robe should be perfect
[01:10.269] Instead of this ragged concoction of thread
[01:14.083] But may you be moved by its desperate beauty
[01:17.714] To give us new life, for we'd rather be dead
[01:21.423] Then live in the squalor and shame of the slave
[01:25.342] To the dance!
[01:26.987] To the dance!
[01:30.775] Aida! Aida!
[01:35.268] All we ask of you
[01:38.455] Is a lifetime of service, wisdom, courage
[01:42.896] To ask more would be selfish, but nothing less will do
[01:49.583] Aida! Aida!
[01:56.218]
[02:24.561] Aida...!
[02:27.461]
[02:49.325] Aida! Aida!
[02:52.460] Aida! Aida!
[02:55.725] Aida!
[02:58.181]
[03:21.142] I know expectations are wild and almost
[03:24.747] Beyond my fulfillment, but they won't hear
[03:28.222] A word of a doubt or see signs of a weakness
[03:31.722] My nigh-on-impossible duty is clear
[03:35.040] And if I can rekindle our ancestors' dreams, it's enough
[03:39.872] It's enough
[03:41.361] It's enough-
[03:43.190] Aida! Aida! Aida!
[03:45.149] Aida! Aida! Aida!
[03:49.355] It's enough!
[03:54.501] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
