Once Upon a Time

There's a castle in my mind
with all the stories that you might find
locked away inside a book
Or out on the road if you know where to look.

I might be sitting in my chair
pretending I'm not really there
but in a town under a spell
or making a wish at a magic well

Or chatting with Charming and Snow White
about what happened when she took that bite,
Or hanging out with Little Red
and tasting some of her granny's bread.

Princes and princesses and an imp of a man,
in real life, I'm just a fan.
But can it be so terribly wrong
to play in their world if I feel I belong?
