Once…

ONCE

I wrote a song once

But I could not sing it

I had an idea once

But I could not bring it

I had a dream once

But it did not come true

I sang a song once

But it made me blue

I thought I was free once

But they chained me down

I was a king once

But they took my crown

Still…

I have a song to sing

And, an idea to which I cling

A dream to dream

And, the blues to scream

A spirit set free

And, a Kingdom to aspire to…
