Lyrics: Angel Isaacs. Degrees Of Glory. Queens & Maids.


I want to be a Queen for you
I want to change the world for you
I want to be powerful and wise
Oh, I want to be a Queen for you
I want to change the world for you
Give me riches, give me time

Ah, but would you be a maid for me
Scrubbing floors down on your knees
Give your all for pennies, be unknown?
Ah, but would you be a maid for me
Living day by day for me
Hungry, tired and tattered, growing old?

I want to be a Queen for you
But, Lord, I?ll be a maid for you
I know that you are powerful and wise
I want to be a Queen for you
But, Lord, I?ll scrub the floor for you
Take my riches, take my time

Ah, if you can be a maid for me
I?ll teach you how to reign with me
On your knees is where the power lies
Ah, if you will be a maid for me
We?ll change the world and you will see
Eternal riches are disguised?eternal riches are disguised
