Finale
To be a prince
Fulfil your destiny
No room for doubt
Each move mapped out
Not shrinking uncertainty
Commanding poise
A true born man
Someone who matters, someone wise
With real authority
You see it in his eyes
He signifies
From The Happy Prince
Time passes quickly
Each today soon transforms into yesterday
Weeks grow to seasons
Seasons repeat with the passing of years
Hopes and prayers and elaborate schemes
Can fade to tomorrow's broken dreams because
Time passes quickly
Each today soon transforms into yesterday
Seize what the day will bring
For nobody knows when your chance will be gone
Time passes quickly
Time passes quickly
Time passes quickly
Time
If I could fly just like a bird
Fly away, fly away
As a swallow dives with stylish supple grace
So my firm physique will dart from place to place
And I shall sing
And whistle too
Aaaah
Just like a bird
Soar high, heart and mind
Sound and sinew both combined
As one
What shall I be
What can I be
How can I become the special me
I know I can be
There's a certain kind of magic here inside
That I know
I can show
To stand out from the crowd
I want my own chance to shine
By what I do I'll be defined
