Are There Girls In The World Like Me

[Verse 1]

If I was the daughter of a blacksmith

Would I know the smell of hay?

And could I feel the sound

Of the hooves on the ground?

As the horses pass my way

And if I was the daughter of a blacksmith

Would he teach his tray to me?

I would watch and I'd learn

'Til it came my turn to leave his legacy

[Chorus]

I am not the daughter of a blacksmith

Though I wish that I could be

I am just alone inside this tower

And I wonder, are there girls in the world like me?

[Verse 2]

If I was a fisherman's daughter

Would my clothes smell of the sea?

Would the salt in the air

Tangle my hair?

When the waves reach out to me

And if I was a fisherman's daughter

Would his boat display my name?

"Rapunzel," he'd shout

As we journeyed out "The sea is ours to claim"

[Chorus]

But I am not a fisherman's daughter

Though I wish that I could be

I have never traveled from this tower

And I wonder, are there girls in the world like me?

[Bridge]

Girls who know all the stories

These books and shelves have to tell

Girls who make up new endings

'Cause they know the old ones too well

Girls who long to have memories

Of things they never have known

Pictures, places, and fantasies

Where they could stay, just for a day

Before their sadness comes to take it all away

If I was the princess of a kingdom

Then a prince would search for me

And he'd ride every mile

Of the Scotland Aisle

On his quest to set me free

[Chorus]

But I am not the princess of a kingdom

And I will never taste the sea

I am just a dreamer in this tower

And I wonder, are there girls in the world like me?
