i might have been queen

Singer:tina turner

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 a 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

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

oooooh 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
