Flower of Gold

"Flower of Gold" is the opening number of Tangled: The Musical, primarily sung by Flynn Rider. The song is used to introduce Rapunzel's backstory, replacing Flynn's opening narration from the animated film.

Lyrics
Flynn: Once a beautiful queen and noble king Ruled a city upon a hill They had a baby well on the way, but then one day Her royal highness took deathly ill

And as her sickness grew graver And nothing could save her A sage told a legend of old

Sage: Get a flower of gold

King Frederic: What's that? Sage: ''Only a story sire, a myth! But maybe...'' King Frederic: Tell me!

Sage: When the world was begun, a drop of sun Fell to earth and became a flower Instead of giving off a perfume, its golden bloom Glows with magical healing powers

King Frederic: Men, gather round!

Flynn: The king demanded his guard

King Frederic: Find it now! No holds barred! For the queen's final death bell has tolled This flower of gold

Guards: Yes, sire!

Flynn: Now the tale was true For indeed it grew Hidden by a twisted old crone Who for ceturies alone Kept the secret of what it could do

Mother Gothel: ''Flower, gleam and glow Let your power shine Make the clock reverse Bring back what once was mine What once was mine''

Guards: Look, there it is!

Flynn: Up they shovelled it, and with flower in hand Back they rode to the desperate king

Sage: The sage has brewed the leaves in a tea and instantly Cured her highness of everything

Flynn: And on that very same morn A sweet princess was born

Maid: And her hair was a sight to behold

King Frederic: Like a flower of gold Queen Arianna: Flower of gold All: A flower of gold

Flynn: And the joy was rare But guess who was there Hiding in teh nursery that night To make use of the light Shining birght in the princesses hair

Mother Gothel: ''Flower, gleam and glow Let your power-''

Flynn: But the magic left when she cut off a strand So instead the lady took matters in hand

Chorus: Flower of gold Flower of gold

Sage: Eighteen years have gone by. How fast they fly! Maid: Still the princess has not been seen Twins: And every year the day she was born, the people mourn Maid: No one more than the king and queen

All: Still every year on that night We set lanterns alight And we pray shell return to the fold

Queen Arianna: Flower of gold King Frederic: Our flower of gold

All: Our flower of gold Our flower of gold
