The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 a 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

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

Oooooh 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
