Once there was an inca queen
She gazed at her sundial
All around her workers raised

Golden idols to her smile
The waiting years weren't hard to see
Behind the tears of mercury


She spoke of silver from the sky
And many floating safety boats

To pick them up when they would fly
Far above their dreams and hopes
And they a mountain city raised

Where their queen above the clouds
Could watch out


Inca queen has
Inca queen has
Inca queen has come

Inca queen has
Inca queen has
Inca queen has come


Out in the jungle
The drums were heard

Inca queen has come
From the biggest elephant
To the smallest bird

Inca queen has come
She spoke of silver from the sky
Inca queen has come

To pick them up when they would fly
Inca queen has come


Once there was an inca queen
She gazed at her sundial
All around her workers raised

Golden idols to her smile
And though the air was thin and cold
Soon the day would come

The queen had told

Inca queen has

Inca queen has
Inca queen has come
