🌼☀️🎶 NDC BINGO🎶☀️🌼 [Intro] Barefoot at dawn, she slipped the guards Left the gold and followed the stars Crown left floating in the stream With a laugh that curled like summer steam [Verse 1] They painted her young in the warrior red Said, “Sit on the throne, or the kingdom's dead” But her eyes were wide as the morning sky And her heart beat, fast like swallows fly They carved her name in river bark But she slipped through light and left the dark Past the drums, past guards who froze The Queen who ran with grass under her toes [Chorus] She ran with the sun in her hair With no jewels, no throne, no care And the echo they called her name with Faded softer with every year The Queen who ran Never turned, never bowed Just danced through the clearing Laughing out loud [Verse 2] She slept where the mangroves bend and lean Learned to love like rivers — slow and clean The lion watched from the acacia shade Said, “You're not a queen. You're something strange.” But children sing where her footprints lie Of the girl who chose the open sky And The Dreamer saw her once, at dusk Dancing alone as the wind kicked up [Bridge] No crown / no gate No court / no weight Just wind / and stream Just feet / and green The Queen who ran... The Queen who ran... [Chorus] She ran with the sun in her hair Left the crown to the roots and air And somewhere far past the reach of kings She dances still, while the bluebird sings The Queen who ran Still runs today Through every girl Who walks her way [Outro] She wasn’t born to rule. She was born to run.
