Once upon a time
Gods flew through the sky, riding the lightning
Booming loud, thunderous and frightening
Once upon a time
Forests and valleys would all come alive
Filled with strange things that forever survive
Once upon a time
Brave heroes quested across seas and lands
Weapons and treasures clenched tight in their hands
Once upon a time
Damsels were so sweet, so fine, and so fair
Knights they would fight for a lock of their hair
Once upon a time
Rulers were mighty in armour and helm
But a poet’s words could topple the realm
Once upon a time
Mythology was true, legends real
Curses could harm, and magic could heal
Once upon a time
The world was filled with wonder and whimsy
’til they locked them up and buried the key
All of this was true
The world was filled up with whimsy and rhyme
Yes all this was true, once upon a time
