Some lyrics I wrote

I wrote this when I got bored during a seminar on 9/29/09

For many years I’ve dressed up
It’s something I enjoy
I get to be somebody else
It always brings me joy

This year I am a princess
From a favorite fairy tale
I prance ‘round in my ball gown
The happiness never fails

I went to show my neighbor
A four-year-old little girl
She loved to see my princess dress
It’s so much fun to her

I called her princess Meagan
She balked at the title
“I’m not a princess now,” she said
“I’m just a little girl.”

“Of course you are a princess
And I’m a princess too”
“I know that you’re a princess
I see the dress on you.

My dress is still upstairs
I’m not a princess now
I can go put my gown on
And then I’ll take a bow.”

“But I’m always a princess
Not just when in this dress
And you’re always a princess too”
“I am?” she asked “Oh yes!”

“You have a Heavenly Father
Who is a royal king
And you and I are daughters
It makes me want to sing.”

“In heaven we are royal
And we’re royal here as well
One day we’ll both queens
But as princesses here we dwell”

“You don’t need any dresses
Your heritage is divine”
Listen, your father is saying
“You’re a princess and you’re mine.”
