[Verse 1]
I’ve been thinking of you, Papa’s princess
Little fire in a heavy frame
I hold your name like a carved sigil
Kept warm under my ribs
I feel complete when you look my way
Like the long road finally made sense
I was a shield with no kingdom
Till your laugh called me home
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the winter come
I won’t bend
I’ve got a whole life
To give you, friend
From my hands to your hands
From my blood to your name
I’m building this story
So they remember the flame
[Chorus]
Papa’s princess, take my vow
Papa’s princess, hear me now
I’m made for more than the fight
I’m made to hold you through the night
Papa’s princess, sing it out
Papa’s princess, no doubt, no doubt
Bottle up our journey
Let the whole world know me
[Verse 2]
I want to bottle up our journey
Seal the ash, the rain, the scar
Every hard-earned mile we crossed
Every grin under a broken star
I want my footsteps etched in stone
Not for glory, not for gold
Just to be the name they call
When the old tales get told
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the winter come
I won’t bend
I’ve got a whole life
To give you, friend
From my hands to your hands
From my blood to your name
I’m building this story
So they remember the flame
[Chorus]
Papa’s princess, take my vow
Papa’s princess, hear me now
I’m made for more than the fight
I’m made to hold you through the night
Papa’s princess, sing it out
Papa’s princess, no doubt, no doubt
Bottle up our journey
Let the whole world know me
[Bridge]
If the banners burn down
I’ll still stand here
If the halls go silent
I’ll still be near
I want to become more
For the names you will keep
A giant in the dark
A promise in deep
[Final Chorus]
Papa’s princess, take my vow
Papa’s princess, hear me now
I’m made for more than the fight
I’m made to hold you through the night
Papa’s princess, sing it out
Papa’s princess, no doubt, no doubt
Bottle up our journey
Let the whole world know me
