Jamie West-Oram - I Might Have Been Queen lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a new pair of eyes every time 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 have ridden each tide From the gates of the city Where the first born died [Chorus] 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 No, the rivers won't stop for me [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 No, the rivers won't stop for me [Verse 3] I look up to the stars with my perfect memory I look through it all and my future is 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, I look down and I'm there in history Ho, I'm a soul survivor [Outro] A soul survivor on the river But it won't stop A soul survivor on the river But it won't stop I might have been queen A soul survivor on the river But it won't stop A soul survivor on the river But it won't stop I might have been queen
