Tina Turner - I Might Have Been Queen Lyrics

I'm a new pair of eyes everytime I am born
And 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 and 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'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 look through it all
And my future's no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy

I look up to the stars till I find my destiny
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

A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
(I might have been queen)
But it won't stop
A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)

A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
(I might have been queen)
But it won't stop
A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)

A soul survivor on the river
(I might have been queen)
But it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)

A soul survivor on the river
(I might have been queen)
But it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)
