I wonder what the world was like
When I knew you before
Did we share a cave
Huddle under skins by a fire
Did you teach me to write on papyrus
And the meaning of the heiroglyphs
Did I watch with horror and breaking heart
As the buboes grew under your arms
When I knew you before...
Did we sail together in chains
To a new land of desperation
Did my analytical brain
Know your tender heart
As wonders were built and wars raged
And fragile peace took hold
Did we ever walk hand in hand
To gather flowers and gaze at stars
When I knew you before...
