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 |
|
What would it be like to be |
|
PRINCESS ANNELIESE: |
|
What would it be like to be |
|
ERIKA: |
|
Free |
|
PRINCESS ANNELIESE: |
|
Free Free to try crazy things |
|
ERIKA: |
|
Free from endless IOU's |
|
ANNELIESE: |
|
Free to fly |
|
ERIKA: |
|
Free to sing |
|
ANNELIESE: |
|
And marry whom I choose |
|
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 |
|
WOMAN: |
|
Can I come along? |
|
ANNELIESE: |
|
Now I fear I'll never be |
|
ERIKA: |
|
Soon I will forever be |
|
BOTH: |
|
Free |
|
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 |
|
BOTH: Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret |
|
ANNELIESE: |
|
But I'll never stop believing |
|
ERIKA: |
|
She can never stop my schemes |
