Anneliese:
C F
All my life I've always wanted
C F
To have one day just for me
G C F G
Nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be
C F
With no lessons, lords, or lunches
C F
Or to-do list in the way
G C F G
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay
C
That would be the day
Erika:
C F
All my life I've always wanted
C F
To have one day for myself
G C F G
Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf
C F
With no hems in need of pressing
C F
And no sleeves in disarray
G C F G
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet
C
And no debt to pay
Erika:

What would it be like to be

I'm realizing that every present comes with strings
Erika:
C F
Though I know I have so little

My determination's strong

People will gather around the world to hear my song
Woman:

Free
Asus Am F Dm Am
I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away
Asus Am F
I could take flight but would it be right?
G E
My conscience tells me stay
Anneliese:
C F
I'll remain forever royal
Erika:
C F
I'll repay my parent's debt

Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret
Anneliese:
C F
But I'll never stop believing
Erika:
C F
She can never stop my schemes
Both:
G C F G
There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams
In my dreams
C
I'll be free
