I Might Have Been Queen - Tina Turner

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’ve 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 river won’t stop for me

No, the river won’t stop for me

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 great recollection

That I might have been queen

For every sage that falls

There’s an ancient child

And I might have been queen

I remember the girl in the fields with no name

She had a love

Oh, but the river won’t stop for me

No, the river 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 the stars

'Till I find my destiny

I look up to my past

A spirit running free

I look down, I look down

And I’m there in history

Oh, I’m a soul survivor

(Soul survivor

On the river

But it won’t stop

Soul survivor

On the river)

I might have been queen

(But it won’t stop

Soul survivor

On the river

But it won’t stop)

I know my secret combination

(Soul survivor

On the river)

I might have been queen

(But it won’t stop

Soul survivor

On the river

But it won’t stop)

I know my secret combination

(Soul survivor

On the river)

I might have been queen

(But it won’t stop)

I know my secret combination

(Soul survivor

On the river)

I might have been queen

(But it won’t stop)

I know my secret combination

(Soul survivor

On the river)

I might have been queen

(But it won’t stop)

I know my secret combination.
