Princes be brave, Princess be strong,
Princess, you must have known all along.
Your sacrifice, is nothing compared
to the lives of those who love you so well.
To a foreign land you may travel, but in their hearts you will last forever.


You, we may sacrifice,
but you are worth millions of lives.
We shall not let you on the battlefield,
without a proper sword to wield nor
without a trustworthy shield.
Oh, Princess, we know how you feel!

You first, must conquer the wedding dress,
until you are in it, not a soul will rest.
We shall shield your face with a veil,
and we shall all pray that it goes well.
We will arm you with a bouquet of flowers.
Princess, stop counting the hours.

Face the world, on that battlefield,
give yourself up for the greater good.
Remember, as soon as you become Queen,
upon your strong shoulders, a thousand heads will lean.

You are being sent to a foreign land,
and we are never, ever to see you again.
You must remember, in your left hand to brandish your sword,
and in your right hand, hold you heart of stone.


Walk barefoot down that aisle of broken glass.
Feel those beautifully adorned roses', piercing thorny stares,
scratch you as they draw blood.

Princess, you are the warrior,
chosen by heaven above,
it is now that you must prove yourself.
Be strong now, Princess, and do what you must.

Sever that Father's hand, which held yours for so long.
Princess, be brave, Princess be strong.
Princess, you must have known all along.


The final battle that you will fight is one that you will eventually lose.
You must walk to the alter,
and turn to face the stranger,
to whom you will pledge yourself forever.


Do not choke on the words that will seal your fate.
Do not start a war in the midst of a battle.
Do not face your destiny with fear in you heart.


Princess, your tears do break our hearts.
Let the ears fall,oh, let the tears fall.
This may be the last time you may cry.
Be strong, beloved to-be-Queen,
you must be strong, until the day you die.
