JANET
Many years had passed in much distress
For the knight still searched for the lost princess
NORA & DONALD
How would he know her
Surely she’d grown
MR. CARMICHAEL, MRS. CARMICHAL
Been changed by the years
Spent on her own
ALL CARMICHAELS
Lost her crown
And her silken gown
How will we know her when she’s found?
How will we know she’s the true princess?
CARRISFORD
The knight was weary and much depressed
But he still persisted on his quest
SCHOOLGIRLS
How would he find her
And recognize
A lost princess wandering
In strange disguise
Without her crown
And her silken gown
ALL
How will we know her when she’s found?
How will we know she’s the true princess?
LOTTIE
Look for a girl with a heart of gold
ERMENGARDE
A rich imagination,
Wealth untold
BECKY & ANNE
When ‘er ‘ighness shared ‘er fortune
It increased tenfold
SCHOOLGIRLS
For a princess leads with a golden rule
Teaches you things you won’t learn in school
By her wonderful example,
Little Miss Sara Crewe has taught
Many important lessons
That Miss Minchin’s school did not!
MRS. BROWN & ANNE
For a princess lights a golden fire
So warm and kind, she does inspire
After being punched down
Rises up like fresh dough
Rises up from among all the rest
She opens your eyes to being your best
JANET
The kingdom was joyous and truly blessed
For the people had found their lost princess
DONALD
Right in their midst she’d
Been there all along
She’d been spreading her wealth
Singing her song
BECKY
(Crowning SARA with flower wreath)
M’lady, a crown
MARIETTE
(Changing SARA’s dress)
And a silken gown
ALL
That’s how we see her—she’s been found!
That’s how we know her — the true princess!
Follow the girl with a heart of gold
A rich imagination,
Wealth untold
The princess shared her fortune
And it increased tenfold
SARA
The princess shared her fortune
It increased tenfold
