Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time; I believed in fairy tales.
Once upon a time; I believed if I was good God would let me fly.
Once upon a time; I knew I was special.
And once upon a time I was too happy to cry.

But things are different and now I don't believe.
I tried my hardest and it wasn't good enough.
Fairy tales just can't be true.
Flying just isn't possible.
I'm not special; maybe once but not now.
And all I know how to do is cry.

Once upon a time; I believed in fairy tales.
Once upon a time; I believed if I was good God would let me fly.
Once upon a time; I knew I was special.
And once upon a time I was too happy to cry.

But not now.
Not now.
