lyrics

Track 12: Kaveh’s Argument
Kaveh:
Artaban! What are you saying?
Artaban! What are you doing?
Artaban! Your place is among your people.
Artaban! You should be living among the kings
and rulers of Persia in palaces,
surrounded by servants and luxury.
And who will care for your house and lands?
You can't ignore your family and friends.
You know what they'll say, if you don't return.
Artaban, don't turn your back on us now!
Artaban:
Once, I, too, saw these things: visions of leading my people.
Once, I felt strong and sure. I felt my heart was right.
But now I clearly see that I sought power to feel secure.
Disparaging Rahim for glory, for fame, but losing them all, in the end.
Kaveh:
Artaban, you're not coming with me. Artaban, what will I tell them?
Artaban:
These people here need to heal, not a noble ruler.
Kaveh:
Artaban, they'll make me Magupaiti! Artaban, you'll be banned from the order!
Artaban:
I’m needed here. God has called me here to bless these people.
Kaveh and Artaban:
I'm not good enough to lead the men I so revere.
Kaveh:
Not strong enough to heed the call of God.
Artaban:
You're good enough to heed the call of God.
