We Were Young Once Upon a Time

We spent time with each other time after time Now, we're older now...looking AT THE TIME FLY... We were young and happy that splendid time But, we have grown out of it somehow...I'm gonna cry... And I know the reason why I wanna cry...we dreamt of spreading our wings and flying away, being one with the current of the aqua-blue sky We were young once upon a time But, our young heart never was one – if it was, that would have been sublime This shame bestows woe upon my soul…because I wish upon a star and my wish never came true My heart is scorching like coal...because I’m enraged of your heartless actions, but that’s nothin’ new My heart is beating like the drums in the night I know why I feel depressed – everything’s black and white now…I know the difference between wrong and right and I’ve fought the good fight But I can’t fight the rejected of the departure that lead to my rue…but I won’t cry (boohoo)…oh no, not tonight…I wanna be as high as a kite & look at life in a different light CHORUS: I will squander my time now and forever (Are you an evil, fallen angel?) Until I meet you eye to eye again Our departure came to soon…our future’s a blur (sarcasm: Oh you must be a sweet, beautiful angel –) Come on & get out of the lion’s den! Release me…I need to let go… Believe in me…reflect on me… Release me…let me go with the flow Let me grow and see…the light at the end of the tunnel There’s other fish in the sea… Rejected departure (that reduces me to rue) Won’t mess with me this time…I am as fresh as morning dew I wear an upside down frown Gravity won’t push me down I’ll Stand Tall and Give it My All I feel like I’ve been kicked around like a ball I won’t fall apart God takes me seriously He took heart But, oh God – where shall I flee? What if sin throws me into captivity? I would be in chains But, I have the brains To unchain me from my fretful fate I will get out in no time – I won’t hesitate I’ve been trapped in this shameful state Help me along the way I need God’s sun-shining day To shed relief on me Ease the pain Scrub off my heart’s blasphemy Shower down your healing rain Now, I look at life in a different light I feel no guilt – why should I when I fought the good fight with all of my perpetual, awesome might? My heart is doused in delight, no longer doused in dismay and ahhh-fright! We spent time with each other here and there We lived our lives without a single care But that was once upon a time It was just a dream all along, though it was crime ~@#$%^&!*()_+=-)(*&^%$%$#@!~
