Once Upon A Time
Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time,
She used to say
Everything is easy when the time is right
You just gotta be patient
And wait hopefully
But then she gave up on me way too easily.
And went on her way
Cause "destiny has a schedule" she’d say
And as "I came down a long way".
Her mama was always afraid
That I’d break her little girl's heart,
But girl, you broke mine to pieces
Before giving a fair chance.
Once upon a time,
She used to say
"Everything is easy when the time is right"
"You just be patient
And wait for luck to knock on your door"
I heard something alright, it was a unruly wake up call!
But then she told me
"Time waits for no one"
And just walked away swaggering.
Her mama said,
"Well you must have done something boy",
"One can't clap with one hand,
So stop your wavering!"
But girl my hands were tied
How was I even suppose to try?
One hand is enough to slap, one slap disfavoring!
And now I write this down
On a rainy night
Everyone alseep, the city dead
Trying to find a rational account
As these eyes never sleep
And these thoughts never rest.
So I did a lot of soul searching baby
Hard to do sometimes
Well I re-discovered myself
And discovered that I haven't changed.
But didn’t I see that coming now?
When you looked around the block
Keeping your options I suppose
A smart man's game is love.
I thought of turning back
But daddy said, "always see it till the end son,
always see it till the end".
"It's like preaching to the choir dad"
"Cause I'm already there"- I said
I can't help but see it all end...
