Barbie - Free Lyrics
MAN (SPOKEN):Oh, we're late, late, lateWe have twenty, maximum twenty-two minutes for your royal fittingAnd then it's move, move, move to your speech at the Historical SocietyAfter that we have to rush, and I mean rush to the Horticultural Society TeaAnd then there's your Math lesson, your Geography lessons, your Science lessonsAnneliese:All my life I've always wantedTo have one day just for meNothing to do and for once nowhere I need to beWith no lessons, lords, or lunchesOr to-do list in the wayNo one to say when to eat or read or leave or stayThat would be the dayErika:All my life I've always wantedTo have one day for myselfNot waking up with a pile of work on every shelfWith no hems in need of pressingAnd no sleeves in disarrayNo wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochetAnd no debt to payErika:What would it be like to bePrincess anneliese:What would it be like to beErika:FreePrincess anneliese:FreeFree to try crazy thingsErika:Free from endless iou'sAnneliese:Free to flyErika:Free to singAnneliese:And marry whom I chooseAnneliese:You would think that I'm so luckyThat I have so many thingsI'm realizing that every present comes with stringsErika:Though I know I have so littleMy determination's strongPeople will gather around the world to hear my songWoman:Can I come along?Anneliese:Now I fear I'll never beErika:Soon I will forever beBoth:FreeI close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles awayI could take flight but would it be rightMy conscience tells me stayAnneliese:I'll remain forever royalErika:I'll repay my parent's debtBoth:Duty means doing the things your heart may well regretAnneliese:But I'll never stop believingErika:She can never stop my schemesBoth:There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seamsIn my dreamsI'll be free
