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.
