I Might Have Been Queen Songtext
von Tina Turner

I′m a new pair of eyes
Every time I am born
An 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, oh, the river 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 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, oh, the river won't stop for me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I lived through it all, and my future′s no shock to me
I look down, but I see no tragedy
I look up to the star till I find my destiny
I look up to my past, my 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 the secret combination

Soul survivor on the river
I might have been queen (but it won't stop)
I know the secret combination
Soul survivor on the river
I might have been queen (but it won′t stop)
I know the secret combination
