Sleeping Beauty

All day long I must stay here
And how the wind does sigh
When it sees my tears fall
It whispers do not cry...

I'm forced to sleep through everyday
But I'm free inside my dreams
Inside I'm feeling hurt and vengeful
Although truly peaceful I seem

My mornings are monotonous
My afternoons much the same
At night I cannot see the stars
The price you pay for fame!

Blessed at birth by godmothers
With magic in their souls
And one who was so spiteful that
Her heart was black as coal

To save my life, I had to sleep
A hundred years or more!
When I wake up you can bet that
I'll try to even the score

I'll thank the one who put me here
Into this great deep sleep
But I want the other one to pay
For putting me in this keep!

The highest room, the tallest tower
We've all heard this sorry tale
I'm hopeful for my true loves kiss
So her evil spell will fail

I'll admit there's strong hatred
Residing in my quiet heart
I never wanted to be like this
From my dear family apart!

She's taken away what can't be given
The gift of memories and time
About this I feel passionately
She ought to pay for her crime!

I will have my happy ending
Whether she likes it or not!
My prince will find me lying here
With my bouquet of forget-me-not

I will fall in love with him
After all he'll save my life
Then I'll travel to his great kingdom
And there I'll be his wife!
