The Walls and The Princess

The Walls and the Princess



Up in her tower protected by walls

Dazing at the future, a glimpse of a freed being

Scared little princess, becoming a queen

Shake your hair out, let it down

Make him climb to the top, scale your chamber

Scream to him "go get your princess! She's your queen,

she's gonna save you, but get there fast!"

Locked up by Lover, wanting control

he refuses to see a woman becoming whole

Oh Lover you shoulda, coulda, woulda seen her for her

But silly you, you should have cut off those locks sooner



Gazing daily to see the white horse in the distance

Princesses and walls don't mix. She needs an explosion

Here she goes, letting it down. shake it out baby, he's coming!

Horse shoe percussion are echoing off the walls. The beat means it's near

But why wait? Maybe she should jump. She wants to bust the hell out

She's too scared to fall, to fail, instead she longs for the climber

Jumping is faster, to the Princes' embrace, she'll live.

Come on Rapunzel get off that thrown! Be a damn queen!

Peek out that window, Sir is down there. Time to choose

What will be, Princess? Jump or climb? He's going to reach you

Cross the room, run little girl run

Get out the window! Don't wait! He's there! Get him, leap lovely

Falling, freeing, screaming, dreaming, loving, learning. The ground is closer

Safety! See where you landed? Open those blues

Saddle sharing, trotting, embracing, the sunset is yours

Little princess, you are a queen who flew from her tower

You let your own walls down
