Sleeping Beauty
by Emily Richards (RillRiver Publishing ASCAP)
Your best friend
Is self pity
Your weakness is me
Your scholarly bronze ambition
Is waning
You’re running
Across the border
You’re screaming
All around about me
There’s no pill
That any man can deal
For healing
You’re blind
You’re weak
Your soul incomplete
You’re scheming
Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Wake up haughty queen
Cheer up see the mirror
You’re as beautiful as me
You’re pointing
At everyone but you
Now you’re as heavy as the moon
The knife got me
But somehow you believe
That I am stealing
Your find isn’t cheap
He’s not yours to keep
You’re not the only one who’s bleeding
Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Wake up haughty queen
Cheer up see the mirror
You’re as beautiful as me
Sleep Beauty sleep
Unless you wake we’ll never meet
Sleep Beauty sleep
We’ll never meet
Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Wake up haughty queen
Cheer up see the mirror
You’re as beautiful and
Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Show a little love for me
Cheer up read the writing
You’re as sweet and just as pretty
Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Wake up queen machine
Cheer up see the mirror
You’re as beautiful as me
As me
As me
