Anneliese-
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day just for me,
Nothing to do
And for once no where I need to be.
With no lessons, Lords, or luncheons
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.

Erica-
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.
What would it be like to be?
(What would it be like to be?)
Free.
A-Free to try crazy things.
E-Free from endless IOUs.
A-Free to fly.
E-Free to sing.
A-And marry whom I choose.
You would think that I'm so lucky
That I have so many things
I'm realizing that every present
Comes with strings.
E-Though I know I have so little
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
My determination's strong,
People will gather around the world
To hear my song.
A-Now I fear I'll never be
E-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 conscious tells me stay.
A-I'll remain forever royal.
E-I'll repay my parent's debt.
Both-Duty means doing the things
Your heart may well regret.
A-But I'll never stop believing.
E-She can never stop my schemes.
Both-There's more to living than
Gloves and gowns and hems and seams.
In my dreams
I'll be free.
