Once Upon My Soul

 

Once upon my soul

and a long long time ago

I was sitting by my window

and wondering when I'd know

 

If I were a bird with wings to fly
How could I know when I got too high?

For when I get too high to see
I begin to think I am no one but me

And Me is someone who has no one to care
No one to love and no one to share

Me is someone who wonders who she is

Wonders where she's going

Wants to know what is

 

Coming for her in the future

Near or far away

Tomorrow or Today

 

Once upon a soul

and not so long ago

I was sitting by my window

and wondering when I'd know

 

When I'd know for certain

Who this Me is now

For this Me is surely someone

Who needs to take a bow

 

For Me has lived in silence

Silence from her fears

And never said a word to Me

Never told Me about her tears

 

I wish Me would have told me

So I could help her heal her soul

So she wouldn't sit by her window

and wonder when I'd know
