Lyrics: Roxelana (like Fire To A Stone)

Two friends they always were and knew they’d ever be
Built an empire side by side
Their trust complete,they were as one identity
Beyond the bounds of greed or pride
Then a young woman, just a slave, caught Ibrahim’s eye
And he asked her for her name
She came forward, she sat down, began to cry
Raised her eyes to him
Raised her voice to sing, singin’
I was born to please you
I was born to rule

To be free
Turn the empire’s destiny
Someday, she’ll be on the throne
For Roxelana

She was presented to the Sultan as a gift
A slave he’d never seen before
Against all odds they fell in love
And then they lived joined as man and wife
She changed their way of life, singin’
I was born to please you
I was born for love

To be free
Turn the empire’s destiny
Someday, she’ll be on the throne
For Roxelana

Deep in the night
Sad and lonely, Ibrahim died
Fighting for his life
Sinking,thinking
I was born to please you
I was born to love

To be free
Turn the empire’s destiny
Someday, she’ll be on the throne
For Roxelana
