"FAIRYTALE"
by Becky Hemsley
This is for the princess
Who is trapped up in the tower
You think you have no cards to play
No leverage or power
With ‘once upon a time’
And so you’re waiting
‘Til a handsome prince comes riding by
You’re hoping that your beauty
Is enough to see you through
That he will see a pretty face
And fall in love with you
Well, let me tell a secret
You see, I once thought like this
I thought that thin or pretty
Would deliver true love’s kiss
So I craved a certain number
In the clothes that I would wear
I modified my make-up
And the way I wore my hair
But it’s not quite as simple
As they make out in the books
True love is not determined
By our bodies or our looks
You see, your real beauty’s
Not wrapped up in what you weigh
Your face may bring you suitors
But it will not make them stay
What will is all your courage
And the way your heart is kind
Your spirit, your adventure
And the way you speak your mind
But none of that will matter
Until you can see your worth
The truest love you’ll ever know
Is loving yourself first
So buy your own glass slippers
And take yourself to the ball
Then sing and dance as if
Nobody else is there at all
Let others crave the beauty
That is wrapped within your soul
You’re waiting to be rescued
Just ‘cause that’s what you’ve been told
But with your heart and spirit
You don’t need anyone else
So let your hair down princess
And go and save yourself
