Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time
It all worked out
the sun was bright
(the ocean’s rising)

More space to swim
fall right in
it’ll keep you fit
(the ocean’s rising)

Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine
Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine

Once upon a time
we didn’t have to hide
so we built a wall
(the ocean’s rising)

brick by brick
hand over hand
and fist by fist
(the ocean’s rising)

Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine
Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine

Go to sleep my little one
but don’t dream big
get married young
but don’t have kids
look both ways
but not ahead

there’s no time to waste like your parents had

Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine
Hey, one last time… lie and say it’s fine
