Once upon a Beginning Lyrics by ShadowStrike

Fables & Folklore

2021

[Verse 1]
Crying out, the wisdom of the tales are always true
Another fable told: a deadly story
Deep inside you hear the voice of nature singing true
Can you hear the song? The forest calling

[Pre-Chorus]
In the night shining rainbows bright
Dancing stars on the silver moon
Once you feel the ancient power you will know your destiny
Listen and hear the nature call

[Chorus]
In the ancient wood there's magic all around (Magic all around!)
Over mountainsides the eagles fly their majesty abound
Mighty lightning strikes, now hеar the thunder roar (Hear thе thunder roar!)
All the dreams inside your heart will sing forever more
The story begins with true love
Just close your eyes and make a wish
Never cry, believe, and all your dream will come true

[Verse 2]
(Oh, yeah!)
Try and hide the fear inside and always stand your ground
Another wasted year of hope and now you’re dying
Lost in time the legends fade away but never die
What will be the end of your own story

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the light of the distant sky
Can you feel all the creatures there
Once upon a truth beginning you will know the end of the tale
Fly, and never stop believing

[Chorus]
In the ancient wood there's magic all around (Magic all around!)
Over mountainsides the eagles fly their majesty abound
Mighty lightning strikes, now hear the thunder roar (Hear the thunder roar!)
All the dreams inside your heart will sing forever more
The story begins with true love
Just close your eyes and make a wish
Never cry, believe, and all your dream will come true!

[Instrumental Break]

[Keyboard Solo]

[Bridge]
Walk from the shadows, and in time you'll see the light
Powers of hope begin to wash away all your lies
Love and the bonds you have made will see you through the darkest of times
Rise and you'll see the secrets of life

[Chorus]
In the ancient wood there's magic all around (Magic all around!)
Over mountainsides the eagles fly their majesty abound
Mighty lightning strikes, now hear the thunder roar (Hear the thunder roar!)
All the dreams inside your heart will sing forever more
Just wish your star and make it real
The power of hope will set you free
Never cry, believe, and all your dream will come true

[Instrumental Outro – Fading]
