Story behind the song
I think it's just as important to remember the things we learn as children as it is to question the things we know as adults.
Lyrics
Starting is a never ending process and a way we choose to go Question is our nature and our basis and it helps to make us grow Answer is a kindness of expression but it doesn’t make it so Habit is a simple misconception of believing what we know Ah but that’s just how the story goes And so it’s said or so I’m told And once upon a time I am And Mary had a little lamb ...or so the story goes Hunger is an artist with no colors left inside except for blue Beauty is not dead nor is it deadly if it emanates from you Lucky are the souls of all the children who will question what we do Knowing is the answer to the secret that was never really true Ah but that’s just how the story goes And so it’s said or so I’m told And once upon a time I will And Jack and Jill went up the hill ...or so the story goes Power doesn’t warrant our salvation satisfaction guarantee Sadness is a fact that we must eye-to-eye from sea-to-shining-sea Throw a rock at you and you’ll decide to throw a bigger rock at me Distant are the virtues we’ve forgotten is this the way it’s supposed to be? Oh but that’s just how the story goes And so it’s said or so I’m told And once upon a child I cry Oh why’d we have to swallow flies? Because of course that’s just the way the story goes
