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
