call me constance
who wouldn’t want this
the truth is evident
from what i say
the things i’m capable of
i do myself
and what remains
i delegate
to friends and helpers
the world’s my princedom
i come with treasures
of dignity
the ground you stand on
surely is sacred
not the ground but your feet
make it that way
everywhere we roam
the kingdom comes
the queendom
can not dissipate
holding inside
the peace the prize
the things we’ve searched for
all this time
we’ve met our maker
the time it takes to
realize we’ve come
a long long way
who wouldn’t want this
the truth is evident
from what i say
the things i’m capable of
i do myself
and what remains
i delegate
to friends and helpers
the world’s my princedom
i come with treasures
of dignity
the ground you stand on
surely is sacred
not the ground but your feet
make it that way
everywhere we roam
the kingdom comes
the queendom
can not dissipate
holding inside
the peace the prize
the things we’ve searched for
all this time
we’ve met our maker
the time it takes to
realize we’ve come
a long long way
