Once Upon A Time Songtext / Lyric

Once Upon A Time"
By Tom Rapp

Once upon a time
In a faraway land
You know I don't mean here
The old men shook with fear
As the water rose

The fishes knew the sign
That there is a tide
The children called it change
But the old men in their chains
What they did not know
They called it sin and so
The water rose

All across the land
The old men thundered
"Pile stone on stone
A wall's our only hope."
But the children, they only laughed
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha

The moral of this snog
This made-up story:
Don't build a wall of stone
You only have to learn to float.
I guess the fishes told
The children, cause they know...
