On the river
I look down, I look down and I'm there in history
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
And I might have been queen
But it won't stop
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
A soul survivor
Ho, I'm a soul survivor
She had a love
She had a love
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
For every sage that falls there's an ancient child
Oh, but the rivers won't stop for me
From the gates of the city
I have ridden each tide
I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
Where the first born died
Let the waters rise
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
No, the rivers won't stop for me
And I might have been queen
No, the rivers won't stop for me
For some recollection that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
And I'm scanning the horizon
And I'm searching through the wreckage
I look down but I see no tragedy
For someone recognizing that I might have been queen
Oh, but the rivers won't stop for me
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
I'm a new pair of eyes and original mind
