Lyrics
Once Upon A Time
Verse
Where’s my rainbow?
Where’s my pot of gold?
Where’s my "string" to hold on to
when my heart grows cold
Where’s my "Fairy Godmother"
land of “Once Upon a Time”?
Where is my "Magic Kingdom"
to melt this heart of mine
Chorus
Isn’t it time for a new fairy tale
A simple nursery rhyme
'bout peace and love discovered
Today, not Once Upon
not Once Upon A Time
Verse
Where’s my buried treasure?
Bright stars to wish upon?
Where’s the lamp and the genie
when my dreams have gone
Where’s the "Good Witch Glinda"
come and wave your magic wand
Where is my "Magic Carpet"
come fly me up
Chorus
This is my time for a new fairy tale
A simple nursery rhyme
‘bout peace and love discovered
Today’s my Once Upon
my Once Upon A Time
