The tale began
It was told to little children
Who lacked the wisdom to know why
Once upon a time
The story went
A place existed in the sky
Beyond any human arm
Once upon a time
Birds flew to this mystic place
And made a home there
Within the distant and perfect sky
Once upon a time
It was a garden that grew
A paradise upon the clouds
A refuge for the innocent birds
Once upon a time
They flew away from the world
They met in that spiritual garden
To rest from the madness below
Once upon a time
was long ago
Now in this time
The garden is covered in smoke
The wondrous trees now bear strange fruit
The birds do not go there anymore
Now in this time
Pure white clouds and warm yellow sunbeams
Have changed to
Orange sunset sky and fading dusk hues
Now in this time
A paradise has been destroyed
The birds all agree
That this world has struck with misery
Now in this time
The madness doesn't stay below
It reaches up into the sky
To twist the quiet clouds
Now in this time
Paradise is a word without meaning
For the world has discovered
Morality is just another word
Now in this time
Perfection can't exist
Anymore then damnation could
Reality is the terrifying tale now told
Now in this time
This garden in the sky
Is now a home for all the wayward birds
Who lose their path to perfection
Now in this time
The birds still fly to find it
The birds are still flying
The birds will always be flying
Now in this time
The children are no wiser
With the fable told
No more prepared to fly
Now in this time
Once upon a time
Is just a time
Lost in time
