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 to her some good
You do?
Honey, I've never seen anyone 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 must 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
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 to her some good
You do?
Honey, I've never seen anyone 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 must 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
