Lyrics
Cinderella
Music and lyrics by Leslie Berry
Hey, old friend, it?s good to see you?re
Still out searching for a broader point-of-view.
Eyes wide open, staring up at the wild, wild blue,
The sky has no limits, not for you.
Dreamers like you never grow old,
Never give in or do what they?re told that they should do.
You?ll be the one wearing the golden shoes
?Cause Cinderella?s no match for you.
Cinderella, dressed in rags,
Sits and waits for her Prince to arrive.
But not you, you realize
There?s no sense in waiting for life to begin.
Cinderella sits like a mannequin
While you?re taking everything in.
You told me you didn?t have any roots, Never counted on other people to come through for you. But somehow, the dreams that you pursue Always seem to come true for you.
You?re head is filled with stories
Of faraway places you plan to explore
Someday soon.
If anyone will see those places
It will be you (I know it will be you).
Guess you always knew
Life really is about the things you do
And not about the things that happen to you. Sitting and waiting,
Waiting and sitting,
I?d rather be doing anything else but that.
Cinderella will be surprised to see
Oh, she will be so surprised to see
The Prince isn?t all he?s cracked up to be.
