Once Upon a Time
(piano instrumental intro) [Verse] Once upon a time I believed in tales Seas would part and manna falls like rain Lepers would be healed and dead would rise Rainbows promised peace across the skies [Verse 2] But growing up reality struck hard Prayers of the poor just left them scarred Cures for gold only wealth can claim Justice ain't blind it knows your name [Chorus] No healing hand for the humble and meek Comfort's a privilege only for the sleek Begging for food under stormy skies Floods drown dreams no angel arrives [Verse 3] Stories of old seemed so pure and clear Faith could move mountains vanquish fear But hunger and sorrow have no disguise Now I see truths hidden in lies [Bridge] Where is the love for the lost and weak Who answers the prayers that the destitute speak Nature shows no mercy disaster strikes No divine intervention no guiding light [Outro] Once I saw the world through eyes of grace Now shadows fall on my pleading face No more legends to guide my way Faith's just a ghost in the light of day
