I Might Have Been Queen Lyrics

   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
