Lyrics
FAIRYTALE WITHIN
Cinderella's gonna cry, Prince Charmin's loosing it.
The glass slipper never lies yet, somehow it doesn't fit.
Fallen out of fashion, maybe but,
Everyone's cashing in by trashing them.
Easy to make a buck on the other guy's bad luck,
Politicians pander to superstition and slander.
The American Dream has become a scene,
From Shakespeare's Hamlet
All the extras are showing signs of giving up.
I for one will not give in.
Surrender to the negative and the shadow side wins.
So celebrate the positive and let the love begin.
Celebrate the positive and live the Fairytale within.
No ostrich in the sand,
No blindfolded marching band,
No king of denial,
Just the simple choice to smile.
Cindy and the prince are trying to make sense,
Of gaping holes in changing roles in the light of common sense.
Fairytales are not the reason pessimistic thought's in season.
Cynics will continue to sell their dreary tales.
I for one will not give in.
Surrender to the negative and the shadow side wins.
So celebrate the positive and let the love begin.
Celebrate the positive and let the sunshine in.
Celebrate the positive and live,
Live the Fairytale within.
