I Wish

A princess slept in a tower for 17 years
awaiting a prince she was told would appear.
His kiss had to be strong,
yet tender and sweet
to awaken her from the restful retreat.
When her mother the with caught word of the news
which said the prince had arrived
but she kindly refused.
She said: she’ll stay in this tower and sleep at my hold, save from a world
with its dragons and trolls.
That’s where she stayed for the rest of her life dreaming of freedom behind
curses and vines.
Well I’m not in a tower and I’m not locked away.
No magic spell could force me to stay.
Still, keeping hold. She’ll come around. She’ll understand I need out of this
town.
See, outside this world of a small town can see I dare to imagine a world
bigger than me.
So I close my eyes and I shut them real tight and I’ll make a wish with all of
my might. A wish
one day she’ll see this is part of the plan. This is the start of a dream,
a dream I’ve always had.
And no dragons and no warlocks
and no wizards and no spells
could keep me from writing a story
that my heart for seventeen years has been waiting to tell.
And so I close my eyes and I shut them real tight and I’ll make a wish with all
of my might. A wish one day she’ll see this is part of the plan.
This is the start of my dream.
This is all of my dream.
Everything that I dream… when I wish, and I wish, yes, I wish.
