“ONCE”

ONCE BITTEN BY LOVE AND INSTANTLY I FELL,

DRENCHED MY SOUL IN THE WISHING WELL,

FLOATING ON AIR WITH THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS,

STAYED A FLOAT WITHOUT SACRIFICING A THING,

NO SENSE OF TIME AND NO SENSE OF LOSS,

NO NEED TO KNOW THE VALUE FOR THERE IS NO COST, 

ONCE HAD A DREAM AND THEN A NIGHTMARE IN THE VERY SAME NIGHT, 

ONCE FELT YOUR ARMS AND THE WARMTH OF YOUR PRECIOUS IMAGE – OH WHAT A SIGHT, 

ONCE HAD A CHANCE ONCE LOST IT ALL, 

ONE TIME IS ALL IT TOOK FOR ME TO FALL, 

ONCE HAD A FRIEND AND AN ENEMY IN HIM, 

THANKFUL FOR HEEDING THE WISE WORDS THAT WERE ONCE GIVEN, 

ONCE BROKEN DOWN THEN RISEN UP, 

ONCE HAD MY LIFE HANGING IN THE BALANCE, BUT THE TRIGGER GOT STUCK, 

ONCE BELIEVED IN FOREVER AND I THEN KNEW NO PAIN, 

THAT WAS ALL ONCE UPON A TIME BEFORE THE RAIN.
