I Might Have Been Queen — Tina Turner

I might have been queen

I'm a new pair of eyes every time I am 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 brand 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 no, 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 trough 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 oh, but the rivers won't stop for me no, the rivers won't stop for 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
