Once upon a time
Came a firefly into my window 
Glowed its spirit into my soul
And I rose to battle the night

Once upon a time
I was brave and I was bold
I wasn't afraid to walk alone
And I rose with the sunlight 

Oh where did my sanity go
Somehow I lost hope in the downpour of the rain
And I used to be strong when all went wrong
Where did the fight in me go
I used to be the warrior against pain
Now I'm in this world I don't belong 

Once upon a time
I joined the dance of fireflies 
Believed love could conquer all
Had hope of a thousand lives

Once upon a time 
I believed truth in fairytales
Believed dreams to never fail
And I wasn't afraid to fight

Oh where did my sanity go
Somehow I lost hope in the downpour of the rain
And I used to be strong when all went wrong
Where did the fight in me go
I used to be the warrior against pain
Now I'm in this world I don't belong 

Once upon a time
I used to be strong
I used to be strong

Oh where did my sanity go
Somehow I lost hope in the downpour of the rain
And I used to be strong when all went wrong
Where did the fight in me go
I used to be the warrior against pain
Now I'm in this world I don't belong 

Once upon a time
I used to be the warrior
I was a warrior
Now I'm just here
In a world I don't belong
