If (Light Of The World) Lyrics by Diana Original Broadway Cast

Diana: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2021

[DIANA]
I offer my goodbyes
Without compromise
A princess moving on
Beyond the palace staffs
Beyond the photographs
A fairy tale come and gone
All I shall do again
Stand in a queue again;
Here's to not making news
A mother full of pride
Her princes by her side
Her life finally hers to choose
And I choose happiness
I choose a fresh new start
I choose whatever lies ahead
(joined by overlapping ENSEMBLE)
(If) If I can carry on
(If) Stay calm and simply breathe
(If) If I devote my soul
(If) To every child in need
(If) The Queen bestows her grace
(If) And places me in charge
(If) To represent the crown
(If) Ambassador at large
(If) I'll be their English rose
(If) Their proudest shining knight
(If) And I'll light the world
I'll light the world
But how does one begin
To shed her royal skin;
Be better than before?
She discards her past
All that she’s amassed
Set free, she’ll do even more
I choose happiness
I choose a fresh new start
I choose whatever lies ahead
(joined by overlapping ENSEMBLE)
(If) I’ll have another child
(If) An answer to my prayer
(If) Perhaps a baby girl
(If) Or, better yet, a pair
(If) If Charles steps aside
(If) And lets my William reign
(If) Then all this suffering
(If) Will not have been in vain
(If) My future’s my design
(If) My story finally mine
(If) As I light the world...
I’ll light the world
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 1]
(spoken) There is breaking news coming out of Paris
[DIANA]
(sung) Flashbulbs fill the air...
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 2]
(spoken) We are hearing of an automobile accident involving Princess Diana
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 1]
We have no word on the extent of her injuries
[DIANA]
(sung) Frenzy fills the night...
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 1]
(spoken) A mob of paparazzi follows her car into a tunnel
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 2]
We are getting reports Princess Diana may be seriously hurt
[DIANA]
(sung) A lonely girl aswirl...
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 2]
(spoken) We are being told now to prepare for the worst
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 3]
There is shock and horror as the West wakes up to the news
[DIANA]
(sung) Lost in blinding light...
[ENSEMBLE REPORTER 1]
(spoken) We can now confirm that Princess Diana has died
[ENSEMBLE]
(vocalizing) Ah...
[CHARLES]
The people who will change the world
(joined by ENSEMBLE) Are not the ones you think will change the world...
