This could be the day I've waited for all my life

And it's coming true

This could be the day I've waited for all my life

And it looks like you

Bells of fire hissing through

The dark and tropical night

Thrown by Nubian slaves

This could be the night I've waited for all my frum-

-py little life

This could be the night I cut a malignant growth

With a steel knife

Tongues of fire hissing through

The dark and tropical night

Thrown by Nubian slaves

This could be the train I've waited for all my life

Coming 'round the bend

This could be the chain that fettered me all my life

Coming to an end

I always bowed and curtsied

I held the candle high

And I blessed your valuable feet

As they went by

Tongues of fire hissing through

The dark and tropical night

Thrown by Nubian slaves
