These Palace Walls

A princess must say this

A princess must marry a total stranger

It's absurd

Suitors talk of love but it's an act

Merely meant to throw me

How can someone love me when, in fact

They don't know me?

They want my royal treasure

When all is said and done

It's time for a desperate measure

So I wonder

Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

I know the girl I might become here

Sad and confined

And always locked behind these palace walls

I don't know, princess, for someone like you

The outside world might be kinda overwhelming

Is that a promise?

I think it'd do her some good

You do?

Honey, I've never seen somebody who needed to get out more

Told to show devotion every day

And not second guess it

If a new emotion comes my way

You suppress it

What would be your suggestion?

Stand on your own two feet

And ask why a certain question keeps repeating

Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

I know the girl I might become here

Follow your heart, or you might end up cold and callous

Love comes to those who go and find it

If you've a dream, then stand behind it

Maybe there's more beyond these palace walls

What if I dared?

What if I tried?

Am I prepared for what's outside?

Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

Something awaits beyond these palace walls

Something waits beyond these palace walls
