let down your hair


rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

a girl with long golden tresses

trapped in a tower

of fear and shame

a girl with a secret:

rainbow heart

hidden under golden waves

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

a girl with short raven curls

free 

of fear and shame

a girl with no secrets

rainbow heart on her sleeve

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with golden tresses

watches girl with raven curls

from her window

wondering what it would be like

to hold her hand

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with raven curls

watches girl with golden tresses

from the ground

catches a glimpse of rainbow heart

hidden under thick braid

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

tap, tap, tap

girl with golden tresses

walks to her window

moonlight glowing

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with raven curls

stands below, smiling

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with golden tresses

bites her lip

her hair blowing in the wind

she watches

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair 

girl with raven curls

lifting up a hand

rainbows on her skin

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with golden tresses

holds out her hand

her own rainbow shining

rapunzel, rapunzel

let down your hair

girl with raven curls

climbs

stuttering breaths

and shy eyes

rapunzel, rapunzel 

let down your hair

a kiss

raven and gold

spinning together like thread

standing on the edge

two girls smiling

hearts on their sleeves

they hold hands

and jump

and they lived happily ever after
