Once Upon A Time
Kevin Anderson Cleavant Derricks Eden Espinosa Ramona Keller Karen Olivo Lyrics

Has anyone ever read you a fairytale
Have you ever been taken to a fantastical world through a storybook?

And taken you to places magical
Have you experienced a journey to enchanting places?

Where homes are made of gingerbread and skies are always blue
A place where a house can be made of sweets and the sky is always a bright blue.

Where pumpkins turn to coaches and wishes all come true
A place where a pumpkin could turn into a coach and all desires are granted.

Has anyone ever sung you a lullaby?
Have you ever been sung a soft, soothing song to lull you to sleep?

You can fly above the rain clouds
Implying that with a lullaby, you can soar above troubled times and worries.

Close your eyes
To achieve the relaxed state that allows for dreaming or peaceful rest.

Let the melody carry you
Allow the melody and rhythm to take you to a calmer, more peaceful place for rest or imaginative thought.

Leave all your fears behind
Let go of worries, concerns and anything that could be hindering your relaxation or creativity.

You can float across a rainbow sky to once upon a time
With peace and freedom from fear, you're able to explore a bright, wonderful and peaceful world.

I believed in miracles (once upon a time)
There was a time when I held the belief of the seemingly impossible becoming reality.

I believed love would conquer all (once upon a time)
There was a time when I felt that love was powerful enough to overcome any obstacle or hardship.

I believed anything was possible
There was a sense of hope and boundless optimism for potential good in the world.

And i believed again the moment when
Then, in a fleeting moment, that positive outlook was rekindled.

I saw you here tonight
Probably referring to the person or people present, in this moment, who reignited that sense of hope.

Now once upon a time has never felt more right
With this renewed feeling, that magical, impossible-seeming world is now more attainable than ever.

(Once upon a time) I believed in miracles
Reinforce the idea that once there was a past belief in impossible things becoming reality.

(Once upon a time) I believed that love would conquer all
Reinforce the idea that once there was a past belief in love's unifying, powerful ability.

Once upon a time (we believed in miracles)
Implying that it wasn't just the singer who had that previous optimism, but others too.

Once upon a time (we believed that love would conquer all)
Implying that that same sense of hope was shared with those around.

Oh yes I believed that anything was possible
There was once a highly optimistic outlook for any potential good.

And I believed again the moment when
That positive outlook was revitalized.

I saw you here tonight
Someone or someones are present now that rekindled that previous sense of hope.

Now once upon a time
That magical world that we longed for and believed in, is now closer than ever.

Has never felt more right
The time has never been more perfect for renewing that seemingly lost sense of hope.
