6. Prince Charming
Prince Charming
words and music by Matthew Greyling
Lyrics
Hey there, little girl, come join us now for storytime
Today our fair princess meets her perfect man
They dance in the ballroom, they live together happily
He fights to protect her, a sword in his hand
Teacher, teacher, tell me now, was that a true story?
Is there a prince charming who’s out there for me?
Of course, little princess, you might already know him now
Just look, you will find him, he’s not make-believe
And remember everything that I say, for you will see your prince charming someday
He will love you forever, protect you always
You won’t help but smile when you look at his face
You’ll dance in the ballroom to beautiful songs
He’ll rescue you from enemies, no matter how strong
And that night you went home and you prayed that you would see your prince charming someday
Ten years down the road, you’ve fallen in love
You think he’s your perfect man, been sent from Above
You planned to get married, but things just didn’t work out right
You’ve both gone your separate ways, but you still pray every night
No matter what people may say, that you will see your prince charming someday
And you’re hoping that it’s not too late for you to see your prince charming one day
Thirty years old with a fatal disease
Your muscles have failed you, it’s so hard to breathe
No husband, no children, just friends, family
You called me to say “Teacher, you lied to me
You told me I’d see him, I prayed every night
I looked all around, dated so many guys
But I never saw him, and now it’s too late
Did I do something wrong? Did I make a mistake?”
And I said “Princess, don’t you understand?
When you’ve breathed your last breath, look again
For you will see your prince charming that day”
And you finally realized what I said
Jesus is your Prince Charming, and you’ll see Him today
