Once upon a time
When I was living a lie
And now it is up to me
For the things that are meant to be
Once upon a time
I couldn’t even lie
And now it is up to me
For the things that are meant to be
And these strings of memories escaping through the sands of time
This is the man in a story down & dusted to the bone
This is a man who rises like phoenix from the ashes
This is a life in a story pride & gusted to the pledge
This is a man with valor like a knight in shining armor
Once upon a time
When I was meant to be
But couldn’t ever be
And now it is up to me
Once upon a time
Those things now couldn’t be
So I headed deep inside
Deep inside the eye of the storm
And these strings of memories hand in hand we walked together
This is a man in a story a forgotten hero from history
These are his cries in desperation seeking salvation
This is the man of the moment and pay heed to his glory
These are his tears for the promises that couldn’t ever be
