i was the one to call the shots dream my dreams hard and slow answered only to my self never giving up control until the one day that brought me to my knees and i would never be the same once upon a time the story goes i laid it all down and let it go to lose it all to lose it all it took a step of faith to say goodbye and everything i had i left behind to find true life well all i longed for i found finally at the end of me and now are gone those wasted days the selfish soul the emptiness love had dimly been replaced but that old life is laid to rest and now the new me is stronger day by day and i will never be the same once upon a time the story goes i laid it all down and let it go to lose it all just to lose it all i took a step of faith and said goodbye and everything i had i left behind to find true life well all i longed for i found finally at the end of me and like an answer to a prayer jesus you were there calling me to live to die to give to gain and i ll never be the same oooooo once upon a time the story goes i laid it all down and let it go to lose it all to lose it all i took a step of faith and said goodbye and everything i had i left behind to find true life well all i longed for i found finally at the end of me its the end of me
