I Might Have Been Queen

I'm a new pair of eyes
every time I am born
An original mind
because I just died
And 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've 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 river won't stop for me
No the river 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's 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 river won't stop for me
No the river won't stop for me
I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I lived 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, my spirit running free
I look down, I look down, and I'm there in history
Oh I'm a soul survivor
(Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop)
I might have been queen!
(Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop)
I know the secret combination
