When Once Upon a Time was real

We'd paint upon the walls with words

And call upon our doubts to kneel

Then fall upon their tongues with swords



If I might suggest to you

That all the dreams we ever knew

Were more than real and more than true

They were stories we could tell



In broken rhythms, busted rhymes

And all good turns in all good time

Of primal pulls and passions

And in parables and primes



So dance with shadows, paint with flames

And cast as far as far can feel

Cause Once Upon a Time's today

And once upon a time is real
