Once upon a time I had a purpose,

Once upon a time I had a place.

once upon a time I had a name to call my own.

Once upon a time I had a face.

But now I wander, lost in dreams,

And nothing stays the way it seems.

Drifting in and out of time and space.

Once upon a time, I knew of friendship.

Once upon a time, I knew of light.

Once upon a time, I knew of hope, and joy, and love.

Once upon a time, I knew of right.

But now it's all been stripped away,

And so I wander, night and day.

Looking for a beacon in the night.

One day, warmth will come anew.

One day, life will grow.

One day, I will find my way.

One day, I will know.

Once I find the guiding light,

I will know which way is right.

And that day, I will know which way to go.
