Aida:
This is the moment
when the gods expect me
To beg for help
but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world but
myself to protect me
But I won't lie down
roll over and die.
All I have to do
is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do
is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
All I have to do is
to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions
when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when
the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
It's easy, It's easy
Until I think about him
as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were
I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions
don't let up they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and
I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
But then I saw the faces
of a worn , defeated people
A father and a nation who won't
let a coward run
is this how the gods reward the
faithful through the ages ?
Forcing us to prove the hardest thing
we've done
Are easy
So easy
And though I'll think about him til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
There is no denial,
no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above
It's easy
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
