[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
