[Verse one:]
We’ve all heard of those
Fairy tale ‘Once upon a time’ stories
Where the perfect princess is saved
By her perfect prince charming
Her knight in shining armor
And how they’ve always lived happily ever after
Then there’s times when we have
Wished so deeply that we were them
We wish that our lives would start
With a ‘Once upon a time...’

[Chorus:]
(But) we often forget that perfection
Is far from this earthly place
That opposites attract
So we fill the lost gap in each other
Cause with perfection
We don’t need anyone but ourselves
I know my weakness
And it’s in you that I find my strength

[Verse two:]
We all have problems
So very often they may go unsolved
And many questions left unanswered
But that’s how we live life
Living one day at a time
Yet we continue to hope for an answer to all
Wishing for perfection
Hoping for all life’s mysteries
To solve itself in our time
As we live in happiness

[Verse three:]
We look at ourselves
And notice flaws beyond any repair
Constantly wanting to change the unseen
Cause we want to live a life
In pure eternal bliss
A life far beyond the sight of any human eye
So flawless and so free
This world that only lives in our
Lifeless imagination
Beginning with ‘Once upon...’

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You’re the courage that I lack
You’re the light in my darkness
You’re the one that’s been holding my hand
When I wanted a fairy tale come true
You’re the one that’s reminded me
Why this life is more than just worthwhile

[Chorus]
