The Frog Prince

Song byKeane

An old fairytale told me

The simple heart will be prized again

A toad will be our king

And ugly ogres are heroes

Then you'll shake

Your fist at the sky

"Oh why did I rely

On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken

Feed your people or lose your throne

And forfeit your whole kingdom

I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child

But the gentle and the mild

Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far

From the person you are

Let go brother, let go

Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you

Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know

You will lie in a deep sleep

That's when

Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down

Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far

From the person you are

Let go brother, let go

Cos now we all know
