Once Upon a Time - PattyCake

[00:06.528] There’s this feeling
[00:08.188] That I’ve had since before I remember
[00:12.228] A memory that glows like an ember
[00:15.791] Of a place or a time and a home
[00:18.358] I almost see it so close that I could be it
[00:21.311] It calls to me
[00:22.914] Something from my past
[00:24.631] Something missing
[00:26.656] Like a purpose at last
[00:28.362] It’s a hope inside
[00:30.475] Even though I’ve tried to run away from it
[00:33.823] There’s nowhere to hide
[00:35.605]
[00:37.808] There’s a story
[00:39.727] Of a maiden who lies in a forest
[00:43.752] Waiting asleep
[00:44.934] And a hero
[00:46.856] With a promise to keep
[00:48.757] And a vow I’d always find you
[00:51.075] At last, it’s all behind you
[00:52.687] We’ll set things right
[00:54.323] No more wars to fight
[00:56.253] A happy ending
[00:58.176] As our kingdoms unite
[00:59.916] With our hearts as one
[01:01.946] Our new life begun
[01:03.573] In a future that’s a bright as the sun
[01:07.318]
[01:09.231] So I’ll close my eyes
[01:11.155] And dream of places I’ve been to in my mind
[01:16.277]
[01:16.813] Where the story ends with love
[01:19.474] And broken dreams are left behind
[01:24.326] I made a choice to hear my voice
[01:28.095] A story that is mine
[01:30.747]
[01:31.003] Even through the darkness
[01:33.093] I will make my way to find
[01:36.640]
[01:37.244] My once upon a time
[01:41.171]
[01:46.058] There’s a story
[01:47.892] Of a life that was changed by a child
[01:52.000] Broken and torn and defiled
[01:55.402] Stolen happy endings
[01:57.377] So fragile
[01:58.309] I could break it
[01:59.147] So close that I could take it
[02:01.057] I’ve paid my price
[02:02.571] Made my sacrifice
[02:04.487] Left with nothing
[02:06.264] But your pain will suffice
[02:08.031] So I’ll tip the scale
[02:09.927] And rewrite the tale
[02:11.846] With a twist where only I will prevail
[02:15.804]
[02:17.202] There’s a story
[02:19.223] Of a love that was stolen by vengeance
[02:23.362] By jealousy’s rage
[02:24.701]
[02:24.870] And a villain
[02:26.666] Left to rot in a cage
[02:28.635] A coward using magic
[02:30.636] A life cut short, how tragic
[02:32.309] I will make her pay
[02:34.250] He will curse the day
[02:35.779] That s/he robbed me
[02:37.778] Took my future away
[02:39.533] Now the time has come
[02:41.387] Now the wait is done
[02:43.028] It’s a journey that we’ve only begun
[02:46.307] Hehehe!
[02:47.040] So I’ll chart a course, and sail for places
[02:51.036] That I have yet to find
[02:54.215]
[02:54.849] A place where the only happy endings will be mine
[03:02.243] To leave behind a life confined
[03:06.026] By love and loss intertwined
[03:08.893] Only in the darkness can you change your fate defined
[03:15.026] By once upon a time
[03:16.898] A choice that we made
[03:19.032] A curse we will break
[03:20.624] Robbed of their momories
[03:22.444] Without an escape
[03:24.401] A line that’s been drawn
[03:26.272] To rewrite a wrong
[03:28.218] I know there’s a place somewhere that I belong
[03:34.914]
[03:38.930] When I close my eyes I dream of places
[03:43.007] That I have yet to find
[03:45.892]
[03:46.594] A place where the only happy endings will be mine
[03:53.424]
[03:53.915] I made a vow
[03:55.787] What happens now
[03:57.615] Our story changed somehow
[04:00.622] Only in the darkness can you leave your life defind
[04:06.672] Mwhmmhmm!
[04:07.832] Even through the darkness
[04:09.852] I will make my way to find
[04:14.414] My once upon a time
