A TALE AS OLD AS TIME

A STORY JUST LIKE MINE

YOU’VE BEEN HURT BY THOSE WHO WERE

SUPPOSED TO TREAT YOU RIGHT

BUT LOVE IS OUR DESIGN

I CONFUSED LOVE WITH CONTROL

LOVE WITH MANIPULATION

MY PAST HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL

THIS SPACESHIP HAS LEFT THE STATION

I’M GONNA CHANGE MY WHOLE LIFE

I’VE HAD A REVELATION

JUST HAD TO LEAVE YOU BEHIND

I CAN’T BE LOST IN TRANSLATION

I’VE BEEN HURT BY THOSE WHO WERE

SUPPOSED TO TREAT ME RIGHT

BUT LOVE IS MY DESIGN

I LIVED THE SWEET

AND I LIVED THE SOUR

BEEN LIVING LIFE

LOCKED UP IN TOWER

BUT NOW I’M BLOOMING

LIKE A FLOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

STUCK IN A LOVELESS

GENERATION

READY TO GO THROUGH

A TRANSFORMATION

I’M GONNA GLOW

LIKE A METEOR SHOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

BIG LOVE

BIG AURA

BIG HEART

BIG ADORER

BIG LOVE

BIG AURA

BIG HEART

BIG ADORER

I PAINT MY EYES BABY BLUE

RED STARS THEY SHINE IN MY VIEW

LOOKING LIKE A SUPER HEROINE

I TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO LOVE AGAIN

I’VE BEEN HURT BY THOSE WHO WERE

SUPPOSED TO TREAT ME RIGHT

BUT LOVE IS MY DESIGN

I LIVED THE SWEET

AND I LIVED THE SOUR

BEEN LIVING LIFE

LOCKED UP IN TOWER

BUT NOW I’M BLOOMING

LIKE A FLOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

STUCK IN A LOVELESS

GENERATION

READY TO GO THROUGH

A TRANSFORMATION

I’M GONNA GLOW

LIKE A METEOR SHOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE

THE WAY YOU LOVE, THE WAY YOU CARE

CAUSE LOVE IS IN THE GIVING

NOT ON THE RECEIVING END

YOU SEE LOVE DON’T MAKE YOU WEAK

IT’S A SUPERPOWER IN ME

CAN’T YOU SEE?

IT SET ME FREE

I LIVED THE SWEET

AND I LIVED THE SOUR

BEEN LIVING LIFE

LOCKED UP IN TOWER

BUT NOW I’M BLOOMING

LIKE A FLOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

STUCK IN A LOVELESS

GENERATION

READY TO GO THROUGH

A TRANSFORMATION

I’M GONNA GLOW

LIKE A METEOR SHOWER

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

PRINCESS OF POWER

BIG LOVE

BIG AURA

BIG HEART

BIG ADORER

BIG LOVE

BIG AURA

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!
