Every night the princesses slept,
Or so the kingdom thought.
But through a door that no one knew,
To a world of dance, they were brought.

Shoes worn thin, night after night,
Where do they go till morning light?

Twelve princesses, dancing free,
In a hidden world, where no one sees.
Their secret found, but joy still reigns,
A soldier’s love, the prize he gains.

An old soldier came to see,
The mystery behind the door.
With magic's help, he followed them,
To a place where they danced evermore.

The truth revealed, the spell undone,
A love begins with the rising sun.

Twelve princesses, dancing free,
In a hidden world, where no one sees.
Their secret found, but joy still reigns,
A soldier’s love, the prize he gains.

Now they dance under the sun,
No more secrets, no more run.
The kingdom smiles, all is bright,
As love and joy take flight.

Twelve princesses, now in light,
Dancing still, hearts so bright.
A soldier’s heart, their joy has won,
Together they dance, till day is done.
