Cinderella

You once told me a story
About invisible chains
With a weight anyone could carry
In anyway

Mopping the floor is one thing
Being forced to isn’t the same
Eventually your back cracks
In vain

So free yourself from expectations
Be yourself, in this life and the next
No one should ever tell you
What kind of person you should be
You’re the only one, set yourself free

You shouldn’t wait up for a fairy
To come and make you pretty
What a beauty that picture would be
It isn’t you

So don’t relent and make your own story
Remove the shackles that keep you hostage
Airborne in the sky and
Fly away

So free yourself from expectations
Be yourself, in this life and the next
No one should ever tell you
What kind of person you should be
You’re not the only one, set yourself free

So you have freed yourself from expectations
You are yourself, from this day on to the next
Let no one ever tell you
What kind of person you should be
You are the one, who has set herself free
