(Intro: Pharber spoken word over a lone, echoing piano) "Jagged Cliff... we in the building. (Pause) Look. Sometimes... the strongest love ain't about holdin' on tight. It's about watchin' her find her edge, learnin' to fly from those jagged cliffs... and knowin' in your soul she's comin' back home. This for you, Natalie. Yeah." (Verse 1) From cold, gray stone, she broke away... (oh, my Natalie) No longer bound by yesterday... (she claimed her liberty, girl) The world, it opened up its arms so wide for her embrace But this distance between us, baby, is such a lonely place... (Pre-Chorus - Harmony builds, tempo slightly pushes) And I'm countin' every hour, yeah, I'm waitin' for the day... (Chorus - Full Harmonies, drums and bass kick in) My princess, strong and free (my love is free) But come back, come back to me (you gotta come back to me, girl) Though kingdoms call, and adventures wait (oh, they wait for you) My heart's your only fate (you know it's true) I'd hold you past the end of time Make forever from today... oh, girl... (Verse 2) I picture you ridin' through the valleys, green and gold (so beautiful) Explorin' every mountain peak, a story to be told (I hear the stories) But while you're out there seein' all the world there is to see... This tower made of love is where your heart will always be. (Pre-Chorus) And in my dreams, time stands still, yeah, the world just fades away... (Chorus - Even more powerful harmonies) My princess, strong and free (my strong love) But come back, come back to me (you gotta come back home to me) Though kingdoms call, and adventures wait (you know I'm waiting) My heart's your only fate (your only fate) I'd hold you past the end of time Make forever from today... oh, girl... (Bridge - Music strips back to piano and lead vocal, raw and intimate) It's not built of steel, not built of stone... It's this love right here that holds you close when I'm alone... And all the world means nothin', baby, when you're in my sight... Just holdin' you, my princess, makes everything right... (Ad-lib harmony run: "You are my eternal sight...") (Outro - Full group harmonies, call and response, music fades slowly) Come back to me... (my princess Natalie) Come back to me... (my wild, wondrous love) Come back to me... (I'm right here waiting) Just come home to me... (Repeat and fade with ad-libs: "I'll never let you slip away...", "My heart's eternal sight...")
