Once upon a time there was a girl
Who lived in the land of dreams unreal
Hiding from reality, treated like a stranger
Living in her fantasies, trapped within their world

Once upon a time her hopes had died
No one there to hear her futile cries
Living in a house of stone, no one on her side
Family in name alone, no place left to hide

Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time

Once upon a dream a man will come
And give her everything she wants and loves
But in the morning she'll awake to face the room around her
It's just another lonely day and bitterness surrounds her
Bitterness surrounds her
