[00:00.00]These Palace Walls - Courtney Reed/Tia Altinay/Khori Michelle Petinaud/Marisha Wallace
[00:10.17]Suitors talk of love but it's an act
[00:12.54]Merely meant to throw me
[00:14.93]How could someone love me when in fact
[00:17.43]They don't know me
[00:19.80]They want my royal treasure
[00:22.31]When all is said and done
[00:24.04]
[00:24.58]It's time for a desperate measure
[00:27.25]So I wonder
[00:29.55]Why shouldn't I fly so far from here
[00:34.46]I know the girl I might become here
[00:39.40]Sad and confined and always locked behind these palace walls
[00:49.73]
[01:04.04]Told to show devotion everyday
[01:06.50]And not second guess it
[01:08.90]If a new emotion comes my way
[01:11.35]You suppress it
[01:13.71]What would be your suggestion
[01:16.26]Stand on your own two feet
[01:17.82]
[01:18.42]And ask why a certain question keeps repeating
[01:23.60]Why shouldn't I fly so far from here
[01:28.45]I know the girl I might become here
[01:33.36]Follow your heart or you might end up cold and callous
[01:43.19]Love comes to those who go and find it
[01:47.88]If you've a dream then stand behind it
[01:52.93]Maybe there's more beyond these palace walls
[01:59.59]
[02:02.78]What if I dared
[02:04.01]
[02:05.16]What if I tried
[02:07.18]
[02:07.69]Am I prepared for what's outside
[02:12.51]Why shouldn't I fly so far from here
[02:17.40]Something awaits beyond these palace walls
[02:29.71]Something waits beyond these palace walls
