Verse 1
Once there were towers reaching high,
Silver stars beneath the sky.
Laughter danced through every hall…
Now they’re only echoes when I call.
I’ve crossed rivers, walked through rain,
Carried hope through loss and pain.
Though the world has changed my name…
Inside, I’m still the same.
Pre-Chorus
You can steal a crown of gold,
You can leave a heart out in the cold.
But there is one thing time can never take…
Chorus
A heart remembers where it belongs,
Even when the road is long.
Even when the light grows dim,
Hope still sings its quiet hymn.
I’m more than silk, more than a throne,
More than a place I’ve ever known.
The truth will shine for all to see…
The princess lives in me.
Verse 2
Every stranger saw worn shoes,
Never all the roads I’ve crossed to lose.
Every door was closed so tight…
Still I carried morning through the night.
Kindness was the crown I wore,
When I had nothing anymore.
Every tear became a spark…
Leading through the dark.
Pre-Chorus
If tomorrow never knows my name,
I’ll still rise just the same.
Because a soul that’s true can never fade…
Chorus
A heart remembers where it belongs,
Even when the road is long.
Even when the storms appear,
Love is stronger than our fear.
I’m more than jewels shining bright,
More than velvet dressed in white.
No one can rewrite my story…
The princess lives in me.
Bridge (The orchestra falls away, leaving only piano and harp before exploding into a full orchestral swell.)
I don’t need a mirror to tell me who I am…
Or a crown placed gently in my hands.
The stars have watched each step I’ve made,
They know the promises I gave.
If one soul believes in me…
That’s enough to set me free.
So let the winds carry my voice…
Across every kingdom…
Across every choice…
Final Chorus (Key change)
A heart remembers where it belongs,
Louder now than any song!
Every dream I’ve held inside
Has been my faithful guide.
No test can measure what is true,
No title tells what love can do.
The greatest treasures can’t be seen…
They’re carried quietly within.
So if the night should hide the dawn,
I’ll keep believing, I’ll go on.
For kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall…
But hope…
Hope outlives them all.
And when the world finally sees…
The princess…
Was always…
Me.
