A Queen in Plain Sight

from Body of Work by The Doyenne

/

lyrics

Seamless in the sea of same
Shadow in the darkness, black throughout
Devoid of superfluous charm
Outrageous still, simply without one's crown

Disguised as a pauper even though you're divine
The skies cry, you have not been home in some time
A God inside, wrapped in mortal robes
Diminished, peasant like, a Queen in Plain Sight

We were looking for you, my liege
We were searching for your majesty
We were looking for you, my liege
We were searching for your majesty

The times are dark
The children cry
We're so lost
Did you die?

Should we wait for your reincarnation?
When will she rise?
When will she cross the spirit bridge
Into our deprived lives?

We were looking for you, my liege
We were searching for your majesty

Where were you when we needed you
We needed a monarch to lead the war
We needed a God Sent, we needed a celebrity
We needed something to worship, O lord, We needed your majesty

We needed you, my liege, but you were hiding in plain sight
We needed you, m'lord, and you were right before our eyes,

Our Queen in Plain Sight, you hid away from us, We saw but we didn't see, so we cried
Woo, woo, woo, Where could you be (Take Your Crown, Woo)?
