Cinderella

Cinderella, please don’t fall asleep It’s such a beautiful horizon

I know your dreams have come under siege

Soon they will slip off the horizon

There’s Orion; a star watching out for you

So what if your dreams have all crumbled

As the dry earth needs water

The good girls cry more than the bad ones

Do you believe new dreams will come through

Like ships approaching the horizon?

Don’t let tears scar your face anymore

The star that falls lands on your shoulder

And brings the glow to light up the road

As you’ll walk up to the horizon

You will conquer any wish that’s good

And when you reach the end of the world push out the fear

And turn your back to the horizon

There’s a whole world

Waiting for your return

Cinderella please don’t fall asleep.
