I Might Have Been Queen

No, the river won't stop for me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars with my perfect memory

She had a love, oh but the river won't stop for me

A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
And I'm scanning the horizon for someone recognizing
But it won't stop
From the gates of the city where the first born died
(I might have been queen)
For some recollection that I might have been queen
That I might have been queen
I look up to the stars till I find my destiny

But it won't stop
And I might have been queen

For every sage that falls there's an ancient child
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
But it won't stop
No, the river won't stop for me
I look through it all

Let the waters rise, I've ridden each tide
And I might have been queen
A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
Oh I'm a soul survivor

I look up to my past, a spirit running free
A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
A soul survivor on the river
(I know my secret combination)
(I might have been queen)

(I might have been queen)
She had a love, oh but the river won't stop for me
A soul survivor on the river
And my future's no shock to me
(I know my secret combination)
And I'm searching through the wreckage
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
But it won't stop
I look down, I look down and I'm there in history
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
(I know my secret combination)

For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
A soul survivor on the river but it won't stop
(I might have been queen)
I'm a new pair of eyes and original mind
