Prince

I will not fall the way you fell into my arms
I will not call the wolf's cry, sound the alarm
I will stand tall, and face the pain you pushed so far away
And watch you crawl away from the dark night

Do you still believe in the hope we'd see
When we'd watch them make our enemies flee
And stand there like children, on our knees
Shiver the cold away, wait for another day
For Prince to save our dreams again

You still won't leave the tower haunting me in my dreams
It's like a refuge that you can't seem to escape
I got away, by sheer force and determination
But you cower there like the shy little princess
When will you know the grass cannot be greener
When all that's in front of you is a wall made of stone

Run away into the wood jumping high above the walls
Toward a secret lover's nest surrounded by waterfalls
Run this way, I'm waiting for you
To take back what's ours so we make a new world
Our world

The world outside is so beautiful
And here you can be just as beautiful as we were
With the children laughing in the streets, dancing
Because they know the chains they escaped
The chains you cling to for life
Singing of princes coming to save
A life that was never theirs to save

It was yours
