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!

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!

I would've said a debtor's prison

But I already paid off more than half!

They did it to feed me!

What would it be like to be...

What would it be like to be

Free?

Free?

Free to try crazy things!

Free from endless I.O.Us!

Free to fly!

Free to sing!

And marry whom I choose!

You would think that I'm so lucky

That I have so many things;

I'm realizing that every present

Comes with strings

Though I know I have so little

My determination's strong;

People will gather around the world

To hear my song!

Can i come along?

Now I fear I'll never be...

Soon I will forever be

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!

I'll remain forever royal!

I'll repay my parent's debt!

Duty means doing the things

Your heart may well regret!

But I'll never stop believing!

She can never stop my schemes!

There's more to living than

Gloves and gowns

And threads and seams

In my dreams

I'll be free!
