Lyrics
[ALYSHA UMPHRESS]

Take my empty hand

You'll understand

Your life's no prison cell

It's a fairy tale

It's everyone's dream to be in your seat

They're green with envy

They would give their eye teeth

Even to wait on you

Glory be to our heroic king

We owe him everything, his love is unending

Raise your chin and let me see a grin

Now get up off your seat and act like royalty

[ENSEMBLE]

Can't you see the choir sing

Hear the orchestrated strings

Tightropes, trapeze, tumbling

Bursting life makes everything

Watch the dancing cavalcade

Marching potpourri parade

Take a peek, it's quite a view

Just look around, there's love for you

[ALYSHA UMPHRESS]

But before you can attend

Your dress and gown, we must amend

Your tress and dress are a mess

Unless we prim, preen, pamper you, princess

It's everyone's dream to be in your seat

They're green with envy

They would give their eye teeth

Even to wait on you

Oh, which perfume for the occasion?

Ambrette and agarwood, juniper and jasmine

Glory be to our heroic king

We owe him everything

Let the choir sing

[ENSEMBLE]

Can't you see the choir sing

Hear the orchestrated strings

Trilling trumpets, timpani

Music fills the gallery

Watch the dancing cavalcade

Marching potpourri parade

Take a peek, it's quite a view

Just look around, it's all for you

[NIDRIA]

I've held this pose

But never fancied it

The grin upon my face is fake

I didn't ask for this

I'm favored but I've got no freedom

I should feel fortunate but I'm forsaken

I'm flooded with fruits, feasts, and frills

But my emptiness never fills

Fireworks flash from the sky

But only fading grays find my eyes

Fuschia feathers flutter by

Florescent birds fly through the sky

Floating freely their flight

While my feet stay firmly fast inside

What I'm dreaming of

You can't see or touch

It's a feeling

Called
