Sleeping Beauty, let us wake you up
Without having us to put you back to sleep.
Sleeping Beauty, the world is changing
Around you and without you

Sleeping Beauty, your prince is gone
From your bedside, he cannot wait forever
The world is moving on and so does he
Sleeping Beauty, two years have passed already

Sleeping Beauty, time doesn't wait for you
There is no spell to keep you safe
You don't notice, but you're aging, too
While you're caught in a dreamless sleep

Sleeping Beauty, how long will this go on?
Please don't let us wait a hundred years
Or maybe, mabye I am wrong assuming
That you are cursed like the fairy tale princess

Maybe you are not Sleeping Beauty
But instead Snow White lying in her coffin
Made from glass and crystal by seven dwarves
And we didn't find the apple slice yet
Which is stuck in your throat

Oh, but how can we know?
The king's daughter sleeps like the dead
Alive, but unreachable for the living
And each time we try to bring you back
Your condition doesn't allow it.

Oh I wish I may, I wish I might,
Wish on a shooting star tonight
And if the star could hear about your plight
And if the star could change a thing
And if the star should decide to grant my wish
Your sleep would end before
A third year has passed without you.
About my grandmother, who is still in an artificial coma.
Also, written for the Secret Santa Event at :iconmy-soul-bleeds-ink:
I managed to include only two of the three items on the wishlist though. Hope it's still close enough to what you wanted.
