Queen

I am your queen

Given to me at birth by virtue of my poverty

I was made for you to rule benevolently

I'll never ask you to kneel you've had enough

oppression

I've accepted my place very reluctantly

Everyone who's ever felt the burning of awareness

Has journeyed to my kingdom looking for acceptance

Give me all your tired because I am your

queen

I'm like Lady Jane Grey appointed to my post

By reasons of default I am your humble host

It's not like I can heal I'm not the medication

Just a symbol of hurt

I give you dedication

What am I to do with all your broken hearts?

And who will take care of me royalty can come apart

So give me all your tired because I am your

queen -

come unto me, find your reprieve

I'll be your ...

commute all your sentences, give you charity, full

immunity and love

I just woke up one day and I had a city of damaged

goods

What is it about me, that brings all the broken souls

to my front door, thinking I mirror their lives?

Well, if I did, I can't any longer.

And here am I today sitting on my throne

Nobody serves me I govern all alone

It isn't fair I'm highly under-qualified

So give me all your tired

And I'll be your

queen

I'll be your

queen

I'll be your ...

I'll pardon your ills and your crimes, my bloody arms

give you sanctuary.

I'll be your queen come unto me

I'll be your mercy.
