Once upon a time in a 2009 American land at war with fall and defeat
Daddy and me
survived a winter with no heat
the new york city frost cut through my jacket
the one I wore to fall asleep
cold blue basement walls sang a sad christmas melody of our uncalm silent night
But together we held on tight

and through the cold
the princess inside of me took hold
and she kept me safe and bold

Dianas mercy, Beauty Belle and her candelabras flame
I would hear them call out my name
Nicole, don't you throw
your roses on your grave, not today
There's more life for you on the way
So, stay

A lying throned lover and me, once built a castle but what was missing was Honesty and Love
His abuse cut through my silk robe that I wore as I climbed up to our royal bed
I was like a caged dove, I still tried to fly but to him it was never enough
 I was really awake when hed think I was fast asleep, tear from my cheek, tasting the bitter taste of my own **** ups and that was the real dread
by morning, I was trapped in his beastly arms cause he kept me sheltered and fed

and in the dark of night
the princess inside of me took flight
she gave me Joan of arc sight

Grace Kelly's elegance wrapped around my tethered soul
Nefertitis crown cast it's magic spell that my broken heart be whole
Mulan told me to love the brown eyed girl in the mirror
Cinderella whispered don't worry precious,
your good heart will one day bring your True prince nearer
Pocahontas painted me with all of her colors singing, you'll soon feel the wind of another
Their grace and power carried me through
A sacred strength forever true
They'd say Nicole don't go there's still this story untold
Ariel swam in my soul
and left me a message in a bottle
I know your're yearning to be part of something more  Girl but
maybe the world afterall isn't your oyster
but one thing for sure is you're a pearl
And There's more for you to see
So, breathe
undersea
and you will
one day be free

Diana's mercy, who would have thought
that my sister
after all these years
Loved me

Snow white and her seven friends singing hold on its almost the end
Rapunzel told me it's just fine to let down or if I ******* wanted to to cut off my hair, that I can descend down just on my own wing and a prayer
and my feet made it to the grass, the stones and rocks
See true beauty ain't defined by your locks
Red riding Hood, lost in the dark, her words of advice
the Forest in your heart is the real fight
the princess inside of me
Shes here and she sometimes bleeds
but she is
Alive in me

Dianas mercy, who would have thought
that my sister
after all these years
Loved me
