I was the one to call the shots
Dreamed my dreams, heart and soul
Answered only to myself
Never giving up control
Until the one day, that brought me to my knees
And I would never be the same
(refrão)
Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all, to lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
Everything I had I left behind
To find true life
All I longed for I found finally
At the end of me
(verso 2)
Now they're gone, those wasted days
The selfish soul, the emptiness
Love moved in, they've been replaced
That old life is laid to rest
Now the new me is stronger day by day
I will never be the same
(refrão)
Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all, to lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
Everything I had I left behind
To find true life
All I longed for I found finally
At the end of me
(ponte)
Like an answer to a prayer
Jesus you were there
Calling me to live to die, to give to gain
And I'll never be the same
(refrão)
Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all, to lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
Everything I had I left behind
To find true life
All I longed for I found finally
At the end of me At the end of me
