Glass Shoe
She walks alone in the cold, dark attic
And goes to the window to take a peak
At the life she used to have
That passed like a short-lived fad
The tears of the sky fell silently that day
It knew what was going to happen in a way
She didn’t have a clue about the pain
And that it was coming with the rain
Oh, Cinderella don’t fear
Don’t go on, shedding a tear
Fairy godmother is here to save you
I’m here to wipe away your sorrow
Replacing it with a joy that shines
And reaches out like a vine
To everyone you meet
So they can hear the beat
That lies within your soul
She was left with nothing
Nothing but suffering
And yet on her face
Was a smile that wasn’t a waste
She seemed to everyone
Like she was having fun
They never knew
The agony she was put through
Oh, Cinderella don’t cry
You will learn how to fly
Fairy godmother is here to teach you
I am here so do not feel real low
Let me give you a joy that shines
And reaches out like a vine
To everyone you meet
So they can hear the beat
That lies within your soul
Then came that fateful night
When everything looked so bright
They were gliding across the dance floor
But then she had to run to the door
The clock had struck twelve
The magic was no longer there
She wasn’t going to be caught
Or so she had thought
There her evil stepmother was
She was going to make a fuss
Fairy godmother is here to save you
I’m here to wipe away your sorrow
Replacing it with a joy that shines
And reaches out like a vine
To everyone you meet
So they can hear the beat
That lies within your soul
Oh, Cinderella ran down the stairs
Bringing a glass shoe that had a pair
Into the loving arms of the prince
She went and was happy ever since
Fairy godmother is here with you
I’m here to see this through
Making sure there’s joy that shines
And reaches out like a vine
To everyone you meet
So they can hear the beat
That lies within your soul
