If I Could Write a Letter

Once there lived a hopeful pair,
Wishing for a child to share.
A garden lush with blooms and green,
But owned by an enchantress mean.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Through the window, rampion seen,
A craving grew, wild and keen.
Husband scaled the garden wall,
For his love, he'd risk it all.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Caught by the enchantress' ire,
A dreadful deal, she did conspire.
Firstborn child was the price,
For rampion’s tasty, sweet device.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Rapunzel born, enchantress came,
Took her to raise, changed her name.
At twelve years old, locked high above,
A lonely life, no friend, no love.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Prince heard singing, sweet and clear,
Followed the sound, he drew near.
Learned the way to reach her there,
Climbed her long, golden hair.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Plans were made, hearts entwined,
But enchantress, cruel, unkind.
Cut her hair, cast her away,
In the desert, forced to stay.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, high in the tower,
Locked away, waiting hour by hour.
Love and hope, through joy and strife,
Together they'll find their way in life.
