[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I choose happiness
I choose a fresh new start
I choose whatever lies ahead
[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 2]
But how does one begin
To shed her royal skin
Be better than before
She discards her past
All that she’s amassed
Set free she’ll do even more
[Pre-Chorus]
I choose happiness
I choose a fresh new start
I choose whatever lies ahead
[Chorus]
(If) I’ll have another child
(If) An answer to my prayers
(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) And I’ll light the world
I’ll light the world
