My Once Upon a Time

Here you are alone

And you deserve it

Your friends have turned to stone

And that's on you

You had a cause to serve

But did you serve it?

Or did you see yourself in a way

That wasn't true

Why tell all those lies?

You feel unworthy

Like there isn't solid ground

For you to stand

But a sack of lies

Is not a firm foundation

You cannot build a castle

On a mountain made of sand

This is not your father's fairy tale

And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail

So when you're story comes to light

Make sure the story that they write

Goes once upon a time

She fought a dragon

Once upon a time

It beast was me

Once upon a misspent youth

She faced herself, she spoke the truth

That's how I see my once upon a time

This time

Life is not a storybook

But life unfolds in chapters

Turn the page

And start to make amends

There's no pre-written guarantee

Of happily ever after

Step into your greatness

Before your story ends

So when your story ends

They'll say: Once upon a time

A girl flew higher

Once upon a time

She made things right

Once upon a time that finds

She changed her heart

To change their minds

That's got to be my once upon a time

This once upon a time

I finally see my once upon a time

This time
