Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, lay damsels in distress

Some waiting princes, many a faerie bless

A knight would come and save his love

Wisk her away to a castle above

Once upon a time, so far away in dreams

The evil witches with hungry-eyeing gleams

Would soon be killed by the hero-to-come

No longer forced to be succumb

Once upon a time, long ago to be said

Don't worry my dear, just wait here instead

When people in need would always be saved

Riding out of this worn, cruel, city, paved

Once upon a time, I wished in my heart

I would never again have to depart

From stories that take me far, far away

Take me away from the world this saddening day.
