[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

[Erika]
Free

[Anneliese]
Free

[Anneliese]
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
