[00:01.51]Man: Oh, we're late late late!
[00:02.86]We have twenty, maximum twenty-two minutes for your royal fitting!
[00:07.88]And then it's move move move, to your speech at the historical society.
[00:12.16]After that, we have to rush and I mean rush, to the portico 2 society T.
[00:18.59]And then there's your math lessons, your geography lessons, your science lessons...
[00:25.17]Princess Anneliese:
[00:25.65]All my life I've always wanted
[00:27.08]To have one day just for me
[00:29.64]Nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be
[00:33.62]With no lessons, lords, or lunches
[00:36.02]Or todo list in the way
[00:38.08]No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay!
[00:44.67]That would be the day...
[00:52.24]All my life I've always wanted
[00:56.16]To have one day for myself
[00:58.35]Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf
[01:02.74]With no hems in need of pressing
[01:04.70]And no sleeves in dissaray
[01:07.16]No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet!
[01:13.41]And no debt to pay...
[01:18.38]Maid: Madame Carp!
[01:21.63]Madame Carp: What do you think I'm running here, a cavarade?
[01:24.38]Erika: I would've said a debtors prison
[01:26.81]Madame Carp: Keep laughing!
[01:28.04]You'll be working for me for another thirty-seven years...
[01:31.42]Erika: But I've already payed off more than half!
[01:35.31]Madame Carp: But there's intrest, isn't there?
[01:37.06]You parents should have thought of that before they borrowed so much...
[01:39.36]Erika: They did it to feed me!
[01:42.25]Madame Carp: Their mistake.
[01:43.21]Erika: What would it be like to be...
[01:46.87]Princess Anneliese: What would it be like to be
[01:49.22]Both: Free?
[01:53.49]Princess Anneliese: Free to try crazy things
[01:57.83]Erika: Free from endless I-O-U's
[02:02.22]Princess Anneliese: Free to fly
[02:04.37]Erika: Free to sing
[02:06.19]Princess Anneliese: And marry whom I choose
[02:12.40]Queen: I'm so sorry my darling, but as you know It is vital that you marry King Domenic.
[02:19.21]It is the only way to take care of our people.
[02:22.02]Princess Anneliese: I know.
[02:23.12]It's my duty...
[02:24.40]Queen: Ah, and look!
[02:25.99]Another engagement gift!
[02:27.86]Princess Anneliese: You would think that I'm so lucky That I have so many things
[02:34.16]I'm realizing that every present comes with strings
[02:38.24]Erika: Though I know I have so little
[02:40.61]My determination's strong
[02:42.87]People will gather around the world to hear my song
[02:50.01]Maid: Can I come along?
[02:53.22]Princess Anneliese: Now I fear I'll never be...
[02:57.34]Erika: Soon I will forever be
[02:59.94]Both: Free!
[03:03.61]Both: I close my eyes And see myself fly A thousand miles away
[03:12.55]I could take flight
[03:14.08]But would it be right
[03:16.73]My concience tells me Stay!
[03:22.46]Princess Anneliese: I'll remain forever royal
[03:25.55]Erika: I'll repay my parent's debt
[03:27.69]Both: Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret
[03:32.02]Princess Anneliese: But I'll never stop believing
[03:34.16]Erika: She can never stop my schemes.
[03:36.37]Both: There's more to living Than gloves and gowns and threads and seams
[03:40.85]In my dreams
[03:43.56]I'll be free!
