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

*Spoken Part*

ERIKA:

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

*Spoken Part*

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

BOTH:

There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams

In my dreams

I'll be free
