Walking on Glass
How did you do it, how did you manage To walk right through it without any damage? Must have been fear in your lovely heart But you didn't seem to notice Step family gone, cottage aglow Your fairy god mom putting on her show Transforming everything left and right Then whisking you off to the palace
On your way to the party did you think back through The horrible things they'd made you do? Year by year, did it give you the fight To toe the line that fateful night, you went
Walking on Glass what a big brave girl Rags all gone and hair all curled Those glistening shards on your tiny feet Coulda cut you to ribbons on the cobblestone street Coulda sliced a heel or lost a toe But you did the Reel, even Do-Si-Do'd Walking on Glass… Walking on Glass
Scuttle 'n scrape, peel 'n scrub Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Do my hair, then wash the tub! Sit in your corner with your friends the mice, Here's bits of last night's supper' They'd given you shelter and a way to be A who you were in the world you see A nasty, ashen little point of view Sealed with a good, stiff clobber
Still, you faced the light when it walked right in Like a saint, or a demon, or an alien You didn't run screamin' for the backyard shed You met the magic head to head, and went
Sip your wine, talk to the Royals Imagine your stepsister's backside boils Cut your ties to that unhappy life Take a breath, feel the tremble Let it all go – it's good to be humble Honest grace becomes a prince's wife
(Based on Cinderella – Brother's Grimm)
