For Once In My Life

Once upon a time 

Before all this mess began 

I never felt alone 

All now stolen 



Simple and surreal 

Was it a world of make-believe 

You could take by the hand 

And I'd follow 



Hear my voice 

Did you see me coming 

I made the choice 

Now I'm running 

Turn me round 

Let me go 

Take me home 



Never thought I'd see the day 

When my life was not my own 

I will throw it all away 

Without sorrow 



But it wouldn't change a thing 

Wouldn't change the way I feel 

For today is the price I pay 

For tomorrow 



Hear my voice 

Did you see me coming 

I made a choice 

Now I'm running 

Turn me round 

Let me go 

Take me home 



Somehow suddenly 

It slipped away from me 

I reach out, hopelessly 

You're gone 



Hear my voice 

Did you see me coming 

I made a choice 

Now I'm running 

Turn me round 

Let me go 

Take me home 



Hear my voice 

Did you see me coming 

I made a choice, but 

Now I'm running 

So turn me round 

Let me go 

Take me home
