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
Madame Carp!
What do you think I'm running here,
a cabaret?
I would've said a debtors' prison.
Keep laughing.
You'll be working for me
for another 37 years.
But I've already paid off more than half.
But there's interest.
Your parents should've
thought of that before
borrowing so much.
They did it to feed me.
Their mistake.
What would it be like to be
What would it be like to be free
Free
Free to try crazy things
Free from endless IOUs
Free to fly
Free to sing
And marry whom I choose
I'm so sorry,my darling.
But as you know,it is vital
you marry king Dominick.
It is the only may to
take care of our people.
I know.It's my duty.
And look!Another engagement gift.
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 parents’ 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
