who lived in a castle upon the hill
but there too lived an ogre, cruel
who kept her against her will
He had schemes and spells to hold her there
for he cared not to be alone
and there she stayed, imprisoned long
though, it was the only home she'd known
She vowed one day she would escape
to another land, far away
to free herself from the oger's spells
she knew, here she could not stay
For the ogre, he did suck her dreams
out from her very soul
It was how he kept his evil power
she knew soon, she would have to go
Should she remain, there'd be nothing left
her spirit would wither and die
so soon she'd have to make her move
at least, she would have to try
In desperate flight on a moonless night
she crept ever so quietly
out of the castle and down the hill
she made it......sweet victory
She traveled far, to another land
though alone, she was finally free
Until one day she met a handsome prince
and together, forever they lived happily
