The way I see it, this song is about a girl that is in a nasty situation - maybe she's physically abused, but I think it's something more like an alcoholic parent. Anyway, this girl has to deal with horrible things, day in, day out, and the only thing that keeps her sane is daydreams of what she could be, in a world where everything is beautiful and safe and free. In this world, she is a pretty princess dancing on sugarplum clouds, and nothing can touch her. Her dearest wish is to be spirited away from the world which has caused her such harm, and to actually become the princess in her perfect kingdom. That's her dearest and only wish. So she kneels at the end of her bed and prays for it to come true, and that's this song. IMHO. Aha.
