70 years she held the crown
Protected and guided by heaven’s hands
Graciously she took a bow
After setting the stage for our future and now
Peaceful in her final hours
Leaving her precious realm behind
Knowing that she has done her time
And led England into her prime
Shine on brightly up on high
Like a diamond in the sky
Making history by and by
Benevolent Queen in the nation’s eye
