No More Cinderella Again © Suzette Herft

I’ve put on my make up and painted my nails
No more Cinderella again
I am saying goodbye to my shadow so pale
No more Cinderella again
Like little Bo Peep I have lost my sheep
And cannot tell where to find them
But I’ll find my way home, through the dark and the deep
And I’ll learn to let go of what I cannot keep
I’ll learn to let go of what I cannot keep

I spoke out aloud in a voice that was me
No more Cinderella again
I was trapped by the fear, but I finally broke free
No more Cinderella again
Now all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again
Oh, I’ve been broken, but I know I can mend
‘cos the pain don’t scare me, I call it my friend
No, the pain don’t scare me, I call it my friend

In little glass slippers in a dream like stance
To music that faded before the last dance
You cannot keep dancing to a broken down tune
In broken down time, despite the light of the moon

No prince on the doorstep, no mansion so fine
No more Cinderella again
I’ll find my own steps to a dance that is mine
No more Cinderella again
Like Jack and like Jill, I tumbled down the hill
And lost my bucket of water
But I’ll climb up again, and I’ll fill up my pail
With the love and the joy and the laughter
With the love and the joy and the laughter
But I never will be, No, I never will be,
I never will be Cinderella again.
