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
