Cinderella

When I was a little girl
I wanted to be Cinderella
To dance in the rain
Without my umbrella

In my glass slippers
I’d walk down the road
Where Prince Charming
On his dark horse, rode

I’d wait for him to descend
In all his shining glory
He would come to save me
Like in a fairy tale story

Then, I started growing up
And saw my own dreams
I’d close my eyes and think
How I wanted life to gleam

There was so much I wanted
And life had so much to give
I didn’t need anyone to save me
I didn’t need a prince to live

I don’t need a Fairy Godmother
Or anyone to cast me a spell
I’d walk to the ball if I have to
And after midnight, bid farewell

I don’t need anyone to set me free
Because I’m not Cinderella
I don’t want to wait for somebody
Sitting in some dark, cold cellar

I don’t want a palace of my own
Nor a Prince Charming to thrive
I’d rather rescue myself, because
I got my own will to survive
