Once upon a time, I wanted to be a racer

In a car, speeding by, I wanted to be a chaser

Once upon a time, I wanted to be a nurse

Or maybe reading minds, sending out a curse

Once upon a time, I wanted to fly

To breathe and feel, amongst the clouds in the sky

Once upon a time, my dreams could be anything

And now I feel my options for life are slim

Once upon a time, I was a child

Growing into an adult, I was in complete denial

My dreams now, are different, a little more real

With problems that I faced, I learned how to deal

Once upon a time, I was nieve and happy

Now, the pain and hurt, is what I can see

Once upon a time, I wanted to grow up fast

Not holding on to innocence, thinking it would last

Once upon a time, my life changed, just today

I realized that I am a voice, a voice with something to say
