"When Will My Life Begin?" is a song sung by Rapunzel.
Lyrics
Seven AM the usual morning lineup
Start on the Chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up
Sweep again and by then it's, like, Seven-Fifteen
And so I'll read a book or maybe two or three
I'll add a few more paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar
Paint, Knit and Cook and Basically
Just Wonder when Will My Life Begin?
Then after lunch, it's puzzles and darts and baking
Paper mache', a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle-making
Then I'll stretch
Maybe Sketch
Take a climb
Sew a dress
And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll paint the walls some more
I'm sure there's room Somewhere
And then I'll Brush
and Brush
and Brush
and Brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been
And I'll keep wondering
and wondering
and wondering
and wondering
When will my life begin?
Tomorrow Night the lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year.
What is it like out there where they glow?
Now that I'm older, Mother might just let me go.
I've got my mother's love
I shouldn't ask for more
I've got so many things
I should be thankful for
Yes I have everything
Except, I guess, a door
Perhaps it's better that I stay in
But tell me When will my life begin?
Look at the world so Close
And I'm halfway to it!
Look at it all so big
Do I even dare?
Look at me, there at last!
I just have to do it
Should I?
(Speaking) No!
Here I go
Just smell the grass! The dirt!
Just like I dreamed they'd be!
Just feel that summer breeze
The way it's calling me
For like the first time ever,
I'm completely free!
I could go running
And racing
And dancing
And chasing
And leaping
And bounding
Hair flying
Heart pounding
And splashing
And reeling
And finally feeling
That's when my life begins!
