Once upon a Time

Once upon a Time, the sky was always blue Once upon a Time, life has an external hue Once upon a Time, everything was forever Once upon a Time, the world was better Upon this time, the world's not as divine Upon this time, mankind crossed the line Upon this time, the world has lies, Watched over by the empty skies Blinded by ignorance one failed realize That life was the biggest surprise The most clever of minds could fairly devise That the laws of our nature will lead to demise Yet, this time I have more in mind and am ahead of the line Yet this time I've made my sacrifice and appreciate the sweet lime Yet this time, I know where I'm going and where it ends This time, I see everything clearly
