lyrics

Light pours through windows
Dawn breaks the horizon
Another day begins, empty as the last one

Wait, do you hear that?
There’s someone calling
Could it be the one I’ve been falling for?

Are you who they call charming?
That smile so disarming
I’m waiting for my prince to come
You look at me with longing.
Have we met before?
You take me in your arms and I’m at home

You want to know me
What do you want to know?
I’ve waited for so long for you to come

Slumbering princess
Locked in a tower far
Will you be my prince and try to scale my walls?

I started to lose hope that you would ever come
Scared that I’d be lonesome forever
I thought I’d dreamt you up, imaginary love
A make believe happy ever after

So you tell your story - you’ve been looking far and wide
Running through the countryside searching for your bride
You climbed mountains, swam oceans, wrestled lions and bears
Dueled kings and peasants just to get you there

And when your hope lied dormant on the forest floor
You heard me singing and you ran forward
My melody drew you and you knew I was the one
And you climbed my tower to ask if I would like to come… come… home

Now that you’re here
Will you please rescue me?
I’ve waited for so long for you to come for me

There’s dragons to be fought
And ogres to be caught
Our love can conquer anything

We are fairy tales come true; dreamers - me and you
Magic turned to flesh and bones
We are songs and lullabies alive before their eyes
A walking fantasy, strong as stones
We're strong as stones
