Anneliese:
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day just for me,
Nothing to do and for once
Nowhere I need to be.
With no lessons, lords or lunches,
Or to-do list in the way,
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay!
That would be the day!
Erika:
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day for myself,
Not waking up with a pile of work
On every shelf!
With no hems in need of pressing,
And no sleeves in disarray,
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet!
And no debt to pay!
Erika:
What would it be like to be...
Anneliese:
What would it be like to be
Free?
Erika:
Free?
Anneliese:
Free to try crazy things!
Erika:
Free from endless I.O.Us!
Anneliese:
Free to fly!
Erika:
Free to sing!
Anneliese:
And marry whom I choose!
Genevieve (speaks):
I'm so sorry, my darling. But as you know,
it is vital you marry King Dominick. It is
the only way to take care of our people.
Anneliese (speaks):
I know. It's my duty.
Genevieve (speaks):
Oh! And look! Another engagement gift!
Anneliese:
You would think that I'm so lucky,
that I have so many things;
I'm realizing that every present
Comes with strings.
Erika:
Though I know I have so little,
My determination's strong;
People will gather around the world
To hear my song!
Bertie:
Can I come along?
Anneliese:
Now I fear I'll never be...
Erika:
Soon I will forever be
Anneliese and Erika:
Free!
Anneliese and Erika:
I close my eyes and
Feel myself fly a
Thousand miles away.
I could take flight,
But would it be right?
My conscience tells me stay!
Anneliese:
I'll remain forever royal!
Erika:
I'll repay my parent's debt!
Anneliese and Erika:
Duty means doing the things
Your heart may well regret!
Anneliese:
But I'll never stop believing!
Erika:
She can never stop my schemes!
Anneliese and Erika:
There's more to living than
Gloves and gowns
And threads and seams,
In my dreams,
I'll be free!
From Princess And The Pauper
