I Might Have Been Queen - TINA TURNER

(Jennette Obstoj, Rupert Hine, Jamie West-Oram)





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 brand 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

No, 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

OOOOO, 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
