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      BOTH:   There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams   In my dreams   I'll be free
