Was There Once a Time
Was there once a time
When the world was young and unafraid
When we sang of wondrous dreams
And were proud of all we made?
Was there once a time
When the world was wide and true and real
When each word was fresh and free
And each life was held and healed?
Was there once a time when trust was simple?
Was there once a time when hope was joyful?
Was there once a time lives went on and on and on
And what we knew was love
Would somehow shield and conquer all?
Was there once a time
When the song came lightly to my lips
And the music danced and played
In a kind of trance-kinship?
Once upon that time
If the world breathed heavy on my back
I could find the strength to sing
I would find a right lyric
Now it seems that purpose is a gesture
Just a thing that habit helps to capture
Can I find in memory the future I once knew?
Can I craft a moment into meaning without you?
One year and
One day and
One moment all
One touch and
One smile and
I hold them all
When life breathes in
I can feel you there
When life breathes out again
You're in the song I sing
You are the memory of another time
Once upon a time in time
Was there once a time like that?
When the world was young and unafraid
When we sang of wondrous dreams
And were proud of all we made?
Was there once a time
When the world was wide and true and real
When each word was fresh and free
And each life was held and healed?
Was there once a time when trust was simple?
Was there once a time when hope was joyful?
Was there once a time lives went on and on and on
And what we knew was love
Would somehow shield and conquer all?
Was there once a time
When the song came lightly to my lips
And the music danced and played
In a kind of trance-kinship?
Once upon that time
If the world breathed heavy on my back
I could find the strength to sing
I would find a right lyric
Now it seems that purpose is a gesture
Just a thing that habit helps to capture
Can I find in memory the future I once knew?
Can I craft a moment into meaning without you?
One year and
One day and
One moment all
One touch and
One smile and
I hold them all
When life breathes in
I can feel you there
When life breathes out again
You're in the song I sing
You are the memory of another time
Once upon a time in time
Was there once a time like that?
