Forgive Durden
Father’s Daughter
[NIDRIA]
Hear the bustling square
Sunlight fills the air
The bakers bake, the peddlers trade
The blacksmiths forge the butcher's blade
But then they look at me
All they see is a girl on display
[TOWNMEMBER 1]
Does the king know her whereabouts?
[TOWNMEMBER 2]
She shouldn't be wandering this route
[TOWNMEMBERS]
Nidria is not like us
She is from the upper crust
[NIDRIA]
I will show them who I really am
They'll understand that though I love my father
I'm more than just his daughter
I'll make my voice be known
Maybe then I won't feel so alone
And don't you ever wonder
What is on the other side
Of the mountain pass
Our other half
There must be something more
A life left to explore
On the day I take the crown
I'll say trust in O, it's all around
With baited breath, they'll expect a princess
This is what they'll get
[TOWNMEMBER 1]
Do you think she can fill his shoes?
[TOWNMEMBER 2]
I wouldn't care to bet my boots
[TOWNMEMBERS]
She's never worked a day in her life
How could she ever lead the light
[NIDRIA]
I'll show them who I really am
They'll understand
Don't you ever wonder
What is on the other side
Of the mountain pass
Our other half
And though I love my father
I'm more than just his daughter
I'll make my voice be known
I won't feel so alone
One day I will be the queen
Of the light
Why do I then find my mind
Wishing for a different life
All I have is O and this feeling that I know
What's beyond these walls of stone
It's in my bones
All I have is O and this feeling that I know
What's beyond these walls of stone
One day I'll know
