All my life I've always wanted to have one day just for me:
nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be,
with no lessons, lords, or lunches or to-do list in the way,
no one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay...
That would be the day...
ERIKA:
All my life I've always wanted to have one day for myself:
not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf,
with no hems in need of pressing and no sleeves in disarray,
no wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet...
And no debt to pay...

*SPOKEN*
ERI KA: Huh! Madame Carp!
MADAME CARP: What do you think I’m running here? A cabaret?
ERIKA: I would have said a debtor’s prison.
MADAME CARP: Keep laughing. You’ll be working for me for another 37 years.
ERIKA: But I've already paid off more than a half.
MADAME CARP: But there’s interest, isn’t there? Your parents should have thought of that before they borrowed so much.
ERIKA: They did it to feed me.
MADAME CARP: Their mistake.

ERIKA: What would it be like to be...
ANNELIESE: What would it be like to be...
BOTH: Free...?

ANNELIESE: Free to try crazy things
ERIKA: Free from endless IOU's (i owe you)
ANNELIESE: Free to fly
ERIKA: Free to sing
ANNELIESE: And marry whom I choose.

*SPOKEN*
QU EEN: I’m so sorry, my darling, but as you know it is vital that you marry King Dominic. It is the only way to take care of our people.
ANNELIESE: I know. It’s my duty.
QUEEN: Ah! And look, another engagement gift!

ANNELIESE:
You would think that I'm so lucky, that I have so many things
I'm realizing that every present comes with strings
ERIKA:
Thoug h I know I have so little, my determination's strong
People will gather around the world to hear my song...
WOMAN:
Can I come along?

ANNELIESE: Now I fear I'll never be...
ERIKA: Soon I will forever be...
BOTH: Free

BOTH: I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away.
I could take flight but would it be right? My conscience tells me stay.

ANNELIESE: I'll remain forever royal.
ERIKA: I'll repay my parent's debt.
BOTH: Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret.
ANNELIESE: But I'll never stop believing.
ERIKA: She can never stop my schemes.
BOTH: There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams. In my dreams, I'll be free.
