Tina Turner - I Might Have Been Queen lyrics

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
