(verso 1)

 I was the one to call the shots

 Dreamed my dreams, heart and soul

 Answered only to myself

 Never giving up control

 Until the one day, that brought me to my knees

 And I would never be the same

(refrão)

Once upon a time the story goes

 I laid it all down and let it go

 To lose it all, to lose it all

 I took a step of faith and said goodbye

Everything I had I left behind

 To find true life

All I longed for I found finally

 At the end of me

(verso 2)

Now they're gone, those wasted days

 The selfish soul, the emptiness

 Love moved in, they've been replaced

 That old life is laid to rest

 Now the new me is stronger day by day

 I will never be the same

(refrão)

Once upon a time the story goes

 I laid it all down and let it go

 To lose it all, to lose it all

 I took a step of faith and said goodbye

Everything I had I left behind

 To find true life

All I longed for I found finally

 At the end of me

(ponte)

 Like an answer to a prayer

 Jesus you were there

 Calling me to live to die, to give to gain

And I'll never be the same
