Once upon a time there was music
That played upon ears and not eyes
And the beauty of every musician
Was their song and their lack of disguise
And their lyrics would carry their wisdom
Like a poet each word in its place
And their dream was the dream of all people
Though we never could picture their face
And their dream lives on
In this wish for a song
And their dream lives on
In the hope of this song
Once upon a time there was magic
In this air that we casually breath
Though their melodies may catch us weeping
They would beg of our sorrows to leave
Though I struggle to find any faith of this kind
As I wait for the morn dreams will race through my mind
And their dream lives on
In this wish for a song
And their dream lives on
In the hope of this song
Once upon a time there was music
To caress all this beautiful world
It was never a merchant of fashion
And it seeked neither diamond nor gold
But it carried our souls
and it strengthened our minds
And it poured from our hearts
Through the passage of time
And their dream lives on
In this wish for a song
And their dream lives on
In the hope of this song
