Lyrics
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!

Erika:

What would it be like to be...

Anneliese:

What would it be like to be

Free?

Erika:

Free?

Anneliese:

Free to try crazy things!

Erika:

Free from endless I.O.Us!

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!

Bertie:

Can I come along?

Anneliese:

Now I fear I'll never be...

Erika:

Soon I will forever be

Anneliese and Erika:

Free!

Anneliese and Erika:

I close my eyes and

Feel myself fly a

Thousand miles away.

I could take flight,

But would it be right?

My conscious tells me stay!

Anneliese:

I'll remain forever royal!

Erika:

I'll repay my parents' debt!

Anneliese and Erika:

Duty means doing the things

You heart may well regret!

Anneliese: But I'll never stop believing!

Erika:

She can never stop my schemes!

Anneliese and Erika:

There's more to living than

Gloves and gowns

And threads and seams,

In my dreams,

I'll be free!
