Happily Ever After
Jenny Phillips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time
A child was born into this life
Heaven could be seen in her eyes
There was no doubt she was divine
And if you are still you will feel the truth
That the princess in this wondrous story is you

[Chorus:]
It's your time
It's your destiny to shine
So arise
Be true to the royal
That's inside of you
Don't settle for the story that
The world would have you write
You were born to reach eternal life
Let faith fill every chapter
Let the Savior lead you to
Happily ever after

Sometimes in your life
The world will cast a spell
And try to make your conscience fall asleep
And forget the woman God would have you be
But if you are still you will understand
The noble role you play in his plan

[Chorus]
It's your time
It's your destiny to shine
So arise
Be true to the royal
That's inside of you
Don't settle for the story that
The world would have you write
You were born to reach eternal life
Let faith fill every chapter
Let the Savior lead you to
Happily ever after

[Bridge:]
When the forests fills with darkness
And wolves seek your soul
Just know
You are simply in the place between
Your once upon a time and your triumph in the end

[Chorus]
It's your time
It's your destiny to shine
So arise
Be true to the royal
That's inside of you
Don't settle for the story that
The world would have you write
You were born to reach eternal life
Let faith fill every chapter




Let the Savior lead you to
Happily ever after

Once upon a time
In the beginning of the story


A child was born into this life
A new life was brought into this world


Heaven could be seen in her eyes
The child was pure and perfect


There was no doubt she was divine
The child was special and holy


And if you are still you will feel the truth
If you are quiet and still, you will know the truth


That the princess in this wondrous story is you
You are the main character in your own story


It's your time
This is your moment

Happily ever after
The ultimate happy ending


Sometimes in your life
At certain points in your life


The world will cast a spell
The outside world can influence you negatively


And try to make your conscience fall asleep
And try to make you unaware of your true self


And forget the woman God would have you be
And make you forget the person you were meant to become


But if you are still you will understand
But if you take the time to pause and reflect, you will comprehend


The noble role you play in his plan
The important part you play in a divine plan


When the forests fills with darkness
When you are facing a difficult time


And wolves seek your soul
And evil is trying to harm you


Just know
Understand


You are simply in the place between
You are in the in-between


Your once upon a time and your triumph in the end
Your beginning and your eventual success

This was my favorite song to sing when I was 12 and I haven’t heard it in so long 😭💝💝

@iamahouseofanubisfan

This song gets me crying every time. It's always exactly what I need to hear. Because I have felt so down. Like I don't even matter. And this song just makes me know who I am. That I truly am a daughter of god. And I am meant to be here for a reason. I love this song so much. Thank you so much for posting it.

@WhatEver-fv2vd

I cried my eyes out I haven’t heard this song in so long!!

@15DancePrincess
