And sometimes in the dead of night
The princess woke up in a fright;
A voice was saying loud and clear,
"I'm here. I'm here. I still am here."
And then one night she heard the voice
Say "Princess, you still have a choice.
I still am here. I'm still inside.
I never really up and died.
"I left when they brought out the shrink
And when they told you what to think
And came out just when you got drunk;
I am the voice of Spice and Spunk!"
The princess opened wide her eyes
And saw the thirty years' disguise
For what it was and is no more;
She saw it melt upon the floor.
And as she broke the evil spell
Her shrunken head began to swell;
She felt a tingling through her skin,
A surge of power ... a flashing grin.
"I wasn't bad or sick or wrong!
I've been accepted all along
By you, the voice who knew me well,
The only voice to break the spell."
"You've helped me recognize the Truth,
The girl I was when but a youth;
You are the voice that I must hear
In order not to disappear.
