Nathan David Clark - Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
Once upon a time, time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time, time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time, time
Once upon a time, time, time
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Scales on my eyes but the sun is burning bright
Sight is lost but in the darkness I can feel the light
Soul is set on fire with a burden I can't bear
Set my gaze upon the sun and now my eyes burn with a glare
Falling to my knees I can't squeeze pressure out my chest
Screaming from the outside in I know I'm reborn none the less
In the newness I struggle and stumble helpless down the road
No one to help, I can't give up I got so far to go
Lightning strikes and thunder claps across the empty void
Reverberating waves that bring the truth are deployed
Shock-waves emanating from before the hands of time
Knock me off my feet and yet I know that I'll be fine
In the wake of my path lays what you would call destruction
All I see are foundations laid bare ready for new construction
Like the prodigal son you see me coming from afar
Yet you embrace me not labeling me the fallen star
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Pushing up from the ground I stand on feeble feet
Infinite pressure has made me unable to see or speak
Arms held out to balance and hold me rock steady
I don't want to go but if I know if I wait I'll never be ready
Left foot in front of right foot I gotta fall in line
I may have lost my sight but I still got fight within my spine
The way ahead is less traveled but a straight and narrow path
I may have lost my vision but I can still look within to see my task
Chains I never knew existed are falling to the ground
In that moment I can feel freedom leaving me unbound
Chasing after the wind ensuing clouds start to surround
Welling from deep within I start to feel the eternal sound
From long ago a new thing has sprung and is being unwound
Those that can't hear are standing all around and frown
Unable to see that the curtain's down and the queen of truth's been crowned
I once thought I saw but in my blindness I've been found
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Once upon a time I was on the right road
Looked towards heaven and asked truth to show
All I want to hear was which way to go
That's all I want to know, that's all I want to know
Want to know
Want to know
Want to know
Want to know
Want to go
Want to go
Want to go
Want to go
Want to go
Want to know, know, know right road
Want to know, know, know right road
Want to know, want to go, right road
Want to know, want to go, right road
