Starting with once upon a time
In a kingdom far, far away
Caged by walls, white horses, rhyme

Get caught in a love story as old as time
A starry glitter showered painting on display
Starting with once upon a time.

A prince saves his princess, royal, refined
Mirrored on scratched DVDS on replay
Caged by walls, white horses, rhyme.

King and Queen forget how family’s defined
And stack up meanings like cards on the way
Starting with once upon a time.

Castles built on dollars, nickels, dimes
Metal dinner tables, dry mouths, nothing left to say
Caged by walls, white horses, rhyme.

Writing a fairy tale, running out of lines
Hastily scribbling a happily ever after halfway
Starting with once upon a time
Caged by walls, white horses, rhyme.
