I Might Have Been Queen - TINA TURNER
(Jennette Obstoj, Rupert Hine, Jamie West-Oram)
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 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 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 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
But it won't stop
I'm a soul survivor, on the river
But it won't stop
I might have been Queen
I know the secret combination
I'm a soul survivor
