Your Majesty our Queen
The world just missed a beat
Our hearts stood still with a sudden chill
To hear that your life’s complete
Ma’am you’re irreplaceable
After 70 years of your reign
The grieving starts with broken hearts
With sadness, loss and pain
We celebrate your life ma’am
You gave pure and selfless love
You led by pure example
Send peace from up above
Those who met you ma’am
Loved you, come what may
From an early age you took centre stage
Through to your dying day
Now the end has come
Your work on earth is done
Your Prince awaits at the pearly gates
You are together again as one.
