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 everyone 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 die

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, oh, the river won't stop for me

I'm a new pair of eyes
An original mind
With my senses of old and a 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 field with no name
She had a love
Oh, but the river won't stop for me
No, oh, 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
Soul survivor on the river (I might have been queen), but it won't stop
Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)
Soul survivor on the river (I might have been queen), but it won't stop
Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)
Soul survivor on the river (I might have been queen), but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)
Soul survivor on the river (I might have been queen), but it won't stop
(I know my secret combination)
Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop
