If (Light The World)

I offer my goodbyes Without compromise A princess moving on Beyond the palace staffs Beyond the photographs A fairy tale. come and gone All I shall do again Stand in a queue again Here's to not making news A mother full of pride Her princes by her side Her life finally hers to choose And I choose happiness I choose a fresh new start I choose whatever lies ahead (If) If I can carry on (If) Stay calm and simply breathe (If) If I devote my soul (If) To every child in need (If) The Queen bestows her grace (If) And places me in charge (If) To represent the crown (If) Ambassador at large (If) I'll be their English rose (If) Their proudest shining knight (If) And I'll light the world I'll light the world But how does one begin To shed her royal skin Be better than before? She discards her past And all that she's amassed Set free, she'll do even more I choose happiness I choose a fresh new start I choose whatever lies ahead (If) I'll have another child (If) An answer to my prayer (If) Perhaps a baby girl (If) Or, better yet, a pair (If) If Charles steps aside (If) And lets my William reign (If) Then all this suffering (If) Will not have been in vain (If) My future's my design (If) My story finally mine (If) As I light the world I'll light the world (There is breaking news coming out of Paris) Flashbulbs fill the air... (We are hearing of an automobile accident involving Princess Diana) (We have no word on the extent of her injuries) Frenzy fills the night... (A mob of paparazzi followed her car into a tunnel) (We are getting reports Princess Diana may be seriously hurt) A lonely girl aswirl... (We are being told now to prepare for the worst) (There is shock and horror as the West wakes up to the news) Lost in blinding light... (We can now confirm that Princess Diana has died) Ah... The people who will change the world Are not the ones you think will change the world
