I'm a new pair of eyes everytime 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 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

But the rivers won't stop for me

No, the rivers won't stop to 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's an ancient child

And I might have been queen

I remember the girl in the fields with no name

She had a love

But the rivers won't stop for me

No, the rivers won't stop to me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory

I look through it all and my future is 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

I'm a soul survivor

A soul survivor

On the river

But it won't stop
