Once upon a time
No reason and no rhyme
In this fairy tale land
I couldn’t depend on
Once upon a time
No fairness and no right
In this toxic twisted land
I couldn’t count on
Once upon a time
It was all a lie
Oh, once upon a time
I said goodbye
Once upon a time
It was all to hide
Oh, once upon a time
I said goodbye
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ahh
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ahh
The grass starts to die
When no one
waters it
I go to my room
And cry
Cause no one’s listening (Ahh)
Will you listen in? (Ahh)
Once upon a time
It was a long time a long time ago
Once upon a time
Was I ever gonna let it go
Ah, Ah, Ahh,
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ah
Ah, Ah, Ahh,
Ah, Ah, Ahh
Ah

Ahh,
Ahh
There was a girl
She lived far away in a kingdom
Her mother gave
Her life to another person
She went to go stay
With her prince for the day in the castle
She wasn’t kept very well
But this was so classic
Crying in her room
If her mother knew
Her heart would
Break in two
La la la la la la la la la la
She would sing to herself
La la la la la la la la la la
She’s going back to her bridegroom
There was a girl
She wanted to get out of the kingdom
Her mother died,
Now she’s all alone in this prison
She lives now today
With her prince in a far away castle
She still doesn’t keep very well
But this is so classic
Crying in her room
If her mother knew
Her heart would
Break in two
La la la la la la la lal la la
She would sing to herself
La la la la la la la
She’s going back, back
La la la la la la la la la la
She would sing to herself
La la la la la la la la la la
She’s going back
to that abuse
Ahh,
Ahh

I knew you
Way back when
We were never even more than friends
I knew you
I used to dream
But you never even saw me the way I saw you
And now days go by
And you are in my past life
Ooh
Ooh
I knew you
Way back when
We had the same path for awhile
I knew you
You used to dream
But you never even felt me the way I felt you
And now months go by
And you are in my past life
Ooh
Ooh
You took all of my chances away
You took my patience too
And I would’ve always fought for you
But you decided to go
Can’t say why
We were travelers heading for different destinations
And our souls were never connected
The way I used to think they were
The way I used to believe they were
And now years go by
And now months go by
And now days are passing by
And you are in my past life
And you live here in my past life
You’ll stay right here

Oh, Ahh
You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Who are on the road
Must have a code you live by
And so become yourself
Because the past
Is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father’s hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
The one they pick’s, the one you’ll know by

Father, oh father
Please hear my prayer
I pray for the day
When there won’t be fear
And someone will understand
Much more
Than anyone I’ve
Known before
And I am asking for
An extra blessing tonight
There’s so many people
In pain and in strife
I’ve heard that you can work miracles
So I’m calling out to you
Once more
Father
Father
Oh, Father
And there is a man I know
He’s sick in the hospital
Lord are you sitting with him
Cause I’ve heard that’s what you’re doing
And there’s a child
Who’s afraid
To go to school
And she’s really feeling like a fool
Are you gonna
Hold her hand
Are you gonna
Hold her hand
Cause father
I wait for you
In the middle of the night
Father
Won’t you come
Take me to the light
Oh my father, oh father
When we are scared
Will you hold our hands
Give us strength to stand
When we are scared
Will you hold our hands
Give us strength to stand
Cause I don’t know
What the plan is
Only you
Can fix this
Only you
Only you
Only you
We don’t know what the plan is

The strength you gave
You gave it all
The light you had
You kept it covered
The music played you
You weren’t alone
But our love
Wasn’t enough to save you
So we’re sitting here
In wooden pius
Wondering if there was anything we could do
To save you
And now your light
Lives inside
Of us your voice
In our heads
We hold it tight
And we will spread your light
Like ashes on the ocean
For you
The people read
And we talk about
The times we’ll never learn to
Live without
Your father breaks
He’s not okay
Should’ve handled things
in a different way
And now I’m sitting here
In your empty room
Wondering if I ever saw that part of you
Don’t want to see the truth
And now your light
Lives inside
Of us your voice
In our heads
We hold it tight
And we will spread your light
Like ashes on the ocean
For you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And now your light
Lives inside
Of us your voice
In our heads
We hold it tight
And we will spread
Your light
Like ashes on the ocean
for you
Like ashes

She used to collect seashells
Take a trip to the ocean shore
She could let her worries fade
As the mighty ocean roared and roared
She used to believe in her big dreams
Had to shut out the voices within
She could tell herself to shine
As the whole world listened in
And now they sit in a porcelain dish on her oak pressed desk
And those painted shells are now memories of her
That you can hold in your hands
She used to look for miracles
Took her a journey to find
She thought it all was possible
If she let go of her mind
She used to collect seashells
Found solace in the night
She could keep her memories close
As life would soon take flight
She’s calling
She’s calling (Ahh)
She’s calling
She’s calling (Ahh)
She’s calling
She’s calling (Ahh)
She’s still looking for seashells
She got lost in the plight
She’s waiting for miracles
A Hail Mary comes in the night

It's been nothing but gray skies
Try to dream them all away
Close my eyes, wish I could fly
Try to take a trip away
It’s been hard to travel onward
Try to drink the pain away
Close my eyes, wish I could drive
Try to make a sweet escape
Wildflower,
What’s your superpower
How do you remain
Standing strong through the rain
Wildflower,
When’s your hour
How do you sustain
Standing strong through the rain
Through the wind,
Through the rain
You’re still standing
Through the hurt,
Through the pain
You’re still standing
Wildflower,
At my hour
Will I remain
Will I remain
Through the rain
Through the rain
Through the rain
Through the rain

(Spoken)
Hey mom, it’s me
Um, I’m not doing too well
So, if you can give me a call back
When you get this
Mamma, oh mamma
Can you hear me?
Oh, Mamma, mamma
Are you listening?
Cause I’m screaming into a void of darkness
I’m screaming out but all I hear is silence
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Oh, mamma
Are you near me?
Pappa, oh pappa
Can you feel me?
Oh, Pappa, oh pappa
Will you believe me?
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh (Ahh)
Ahh
Ahh
Ah
Cause I’m lying in a cold bed of sorrows
I’m crying out but you will never know it
Can you hear me? Can you hear me, oh Pappa?
Are you near me?
I’m crying
I feel like dying
I feel like dying
I feel like dying

I sit alone
I wait for somebody
I pray alone
I pray for anybody
Lately it’s just been darkness
I don’t know how to find the light
I pray to God above
That he will get me through the night
Cause it's a hard road
When you don’t know
It’s a long road
When you don’t grow
I’ve been here
For 10,000 years
I’ve felt the pain
Of 10,000 rains
I’ve stayed here
For 10,000 years
I’ll remain
Through 10,000 rains
Through the wind
And the rain
I'll remain
I'll remain
Through the wind
And the rain
I'll remain
Through the hurt
And the pain
Bring the rain
Bring the rain
Through the hurt
And the pain
Bring the rain
I wait for salvation to come
I’ve lived underground for so long
I sit alone
I wait for my time to come
I pray alone
I pray that it will be done
Lately it’s still darkness
I don’t know how to find the light
I pray to God above
That he will get me through the night
Cause it's a hard road
When you don’t know
It’s a long road
When you don’t grow
I’ve been here
For 10,000 years
I’ve felt the pain
Of 10,000 rains
I’ve stayed here
For 10,000 years
I’ll remain
Through 10,000 rains

on my way

How did I get here?
Why’s it always the same?
The uncertainty of life
Is surely to blame
Life is like this rocky boat
Slow and unsure
I can’t keep my feet above
The ocean floor
The tick tock of the clock ticks on
Your time has come
I know time has felt endless
Leaving it in the blue ocean
Mother Earth calls out to the sea
She prepares me for my stay
Puts out the softest towels and sheets
And I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way
The sailors call brings me peace
The soft songs come my way
They wrap me in angels touch
And I’ll be on my way
The tick tock of the clock ticks on
Your time has come
I know time has felt endless
Leaving it in the blue ocean
Mother Earth calls out to the sea
She prepares me for my stay
Lays out the softest towels and sheets
And I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way (I’ll be on my way)
I’ll be on my way (I’ll be on my way)

my, how you've grown
04:11

Packing up my things
Headed to a new life
How the memories sting,
But I can feel the sunflowers
Lived a thousand lives
Fought through all my demons
How the sun can still rise,
But you are dreaming
I'm so proud of where you came from
Rising from the ashes, taking every one
By storm
My how you’ve grown
My how you’ve grown
Fearful and tired,
Taking every moment that’s mine
Who has the recipe
To childhood dreams
Meek and mild,
Living every second that shines
Does anyone believe in me
And my childhood dreams?
I'm so proud of where you came from
I’m so proud of where you came from (my, how you’ve grown)
My, how you’ve grown
My, how you’ve grown
My, how you’ve grown
My, how you’ve grown

Once upon a time,
I held the deepest knife
Once upon a time
Feelings could not survive
Once upon a time,
I took the highest climb
Once upon a time
Darkness was just a light
Once upon a time,
It was all a lie,
But I found light inside
Held it close to mine
Once upon a time,
It was just a ride
Once upon a time
Healing took the rhyme
The sinking feeling sits
Way down deep inside
Oh you won’t take my life,
But in my sleep you’ll hide
In my sleep, you’ll hide
(Spoken)
The sinking feeling sits
Way down deep inside
Oh you won’t take my life,
But in my sleep, you’ll hide
you’ll hide
you’ll hide
You’ll hide every night
Once upon a time,
Healing took the the rhyme
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah
Once upon a time
I survived
I survived
I survived
I survived
