Princess Elspeth sings about her desire to be a "normal" noblewoman, and not the Heir.

Lyrics[]

All that I want is a single thing that's mine---
Is that so very selfish, and so much out of line? 
All that I want is one corner of my own, 
One place where I can be myself, and just myself, alone.

All that I want is a single soul who cares--- 
I'm watching all the other girls making up their pairs--- 
And all that I want is the someone meant for me--- 
Just once to be the kind of girl that the others seem to be. 

All that I want is to be like all the rest--- 
Not watching every step I make, not have to be the best--- 
I'm tired of being held, under every eye--- 
I want a little freedom, and just once, I want to fly. 

All that I want is a little bit of love--- 
Is that such an awful thing to be dreaming of? 
So wrong to be wishing to have what others hold? 
Someone to say he cares for me more than for crowns or gold? 

Just ordinary---to be like everyone 
Once in a while to laugh and have a little fun 
Just to be Elspeth and not the Royal Heir--- 
I'll never get the chance, and damn it, it's not fair! 

All that I want is a single thing that's mine. 

Is that so very selfish, and so much out of line?
