inside out


Once upon a time in a land far away there a was a tale of a princess.

 But this girl knew that in her little heart that she was destined for something different. ……………………………………………………………………………………………….

So she ran away 

and people talked 

thinking she was a coward.

 but they were wrong 

she was oh soo strong 

and she came back once again 

………………………………………………………..

 And this time a boy in disguise

 he was the towns hero 

people loved him so 

they forgot the runaway princess

 But the dear old king remembered his lovely princess

………………………………………………..

So he called the new boy and ordered him so 

Please go find my princess

And the boy knew it was now or never 

And told the king but she is right here 

Right under his nose in the form of a boy

……………………………………………….

People were shocked 

They crowded around

But the queen stepped forward

And beckoned

come we must talk

Now explains to me why you made us fret

And left us with regrets

The princess said mother can't you see this town loves boys better than me 

So I ran away to be what they wanted

and now you see

 they all love me

…………………………………….

The queen frowned 

All this and you haven’t learned 

That one-day you will rule

Just as well as any boy

So let both people inside you out 

Both the boy and the girl.

…………………………..

Once upon a time in a land far away there a was  tale of a girl who one day became a queen and she ruled bravely and everyone agreed this queen was the best because she set herself free, and the little girl  knew that in her little heart that she was always destined to be seen as the queen.
