I Might Have Been Queen



i'm a new pair of eyes
every time i'm born
an original mind
because i just died
i'm scanning the horizon
for someone recognizing
that i might have been queen
for every sun that sets
there is a new one dawning
for every empire crushed
there is a new nation
let the waters rise
i have ridden each tide
from the gates of the city
where the first born died

and i might have been queen
i remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
oh, but the rivers won't stop for me

i'm a new pair of eyes
an original mind
with my senses of old
and the heart of a giant
and i'm searching through the wreckage
for some recollection
that i might have been queen
for every sage that falls
there is an ancient child

and i might have been queen
i remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
ooooo, but the rivers won't stop me
no, the rivers won't stop me

i look up to the stars
with my perfect memory
i look through it all
and my future's no shock to me
i look down but i see no tragedy
i look up to my past
a spirit running free
i look down and i'm there in history
i'm a soul survivor

a soul survivor
on the river
but i won't stop
i'm a soul survivor
on the river
but i won't stop
i might have been queen
i know the secret combination
i'm a soul survivor
