Intro:
Guitar Licks (4)
Groove w/Horns(4)
Verse I:
2,000 years ago I was a queen
2,000 years later I lost everything
Queen to slave I’ve gone, glory to shame and grief
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
Chorus:
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
Verse II:
How could one who stood so high fall so low?
Disrespect rebellion and pride - 600 million souls
Gold to dust, sackcloth and ashes, stripped of my dignity
When I turned, when I turned, everything!
Chorus:
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on (my) Yah I lost everything
When I turned my back on Yah I lost everything
