Roxelana |
| wo 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… |
| Deep in the night, |
| Sad and lonely, Ibrahim died, |
| Fighting for his life, |
| Thinking, thinking: |
| I was born to please you, |
| I was born to love… |
