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 of 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



Chorus:

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 through the wreckage

For some great recollection

That I might have been queen

For every sage that falls

There is an ancient child



Chorus



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, I look down and I'm there, in history

Oh, I'm a soul survivor
