The sun is setting, red and tired of day
Behind the castle dark stony towers;
A princess watches as the shadows, away,
Climb towards sky in the long evening hours.
Her soul is hurt and her heart is now bleeding,
She can't sleep or eat, sing or dance,
The love turments her in the hours of evening
And happiness seems to give her no chance.
Oh, girl, rise and smile towards sky,
The love you can offer will remain yours forever,
Your small, precious flower will not ever die
Only what you receive will be locked and seen never.
Oh, girl, rise and shine towards stars,
Just smile and to you all the mountains will bow
A world to be conquered awaits, and no wars,
Will need to be fought to aquire it now.
The love you can offer will remain yours forever,
It gives you long wings, taking you to the skies
Only what you receive will be locked and seen never,
Open, then, your pure heart and rise to the heights.
The moon rises soon, and its pale, silky light,
Soft and silvery blue falls on her face in tears
The princess soon smiles, contemplating the night,
Finding power and hope to abandon her fears.
