First Draft:

[People hear the word princess and all they think about is gowns and tiaras, a prince
swooping in to save the day, a prissy evil step-mother for a queen, a talking mirror.
My dear, you’ll have gowns and tiaras, you’ll have your prince—not that you’ll need
saving—you’ll have me for a queen. Unfortunately, we don’t have talking mirrors in
Genovia. We do have the most delicious pears though you really must try
one…anyway, the point is, most people have no idea what being a princess is about.
All they see is the fame and the luxury…the glamour. But…

Being a princess is about so much more

It’s about joys, about sorrows
Building a better tomorrow
And all without personal rewards
[Don’t You See Mia]
You have it all already
But some don’t have any
It’s their future that you’ll work for

[Now, being a princess is a full time job, but you’ll still want to be involved in
organizations and charities—it’s all about giving back, about helping your people]

Being a princess you must keep in mind

You have power, you have freedom
You can search for a reason
But it all comes down to luck
[Always remember]
You’re the same as your people
(you must) Be sure to keep hold
Of the kind and grounded girl you are now

Being a princess is about sacrifice

Your life
Is no longer your own.
From
Ideas:

Being a princess is about love and care

Sit up straight, shoulders back

Tuck one ankle behind the other
Chin up, Smile graciously
Acknowledge your people;
Wave, nod

But being a princess is more than your posture

More than gowns or tiaras, or your beautiful smile
It’s about caring for those whom you rule
Their needs will need your time

You are a princess but also a servant to your people

Being a princess is about sacrifice

You don’t get a life of your own
It sounds brutal to hear
But that fear
Will help you to care for the ones who you love
And the ones who love you
As so many do

A princess is patient
She’s caring gracious
She loves her people just as they love her

She does all she’s able

to put food on their tables
And give them the best life they can build

[key change]
She takes nothing for granted
She holds her people enchanted
By the work she does on their behalf
