Lyrics
She was living in a fairy tale
Of kings and queens who never fail
And the morning came
When she was sleeping
A gentle touch, a warm caress
Awoke her from her sleeping death
As she slowly opened up her eyes
And what did she see
A world of confusion
Changes surrounding the cities of men
The lion’s den - must break free
She arose with a seeing eye
And stretched her arms toward the sky
No longer the broken-winged bird
All the woes that had kept her down
Are vanished now dead and gone
Now her smile’s the cause of happy faces
And what does she see
A world of beauty
A blossoming springtime
In the cities of men,
The verdant glen - she is free
