lyrics

Lost and shaken she wanders the woods
Hoping to find what her father could
Found a home there deep in the trees
Magic locked in green canopies

The beast won't sleep forever in this stone
The beast won't sleep forever all alone

She should have known that she just wanted love
Too scared to follow the calls above
But now I know what I can't see
She'll never be who she wants to be

The beast won't sleep forever in this stone
The beast won't sleep forever all alone

There was a tree where she would sing
All alone by the crystal spring
There he heard her saddest song
The only thing to break a stone so strong

The beast won't sleep forever in this stone
The beast won't sleep forever all alone
The beast won't sleep forever all alone
