It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
     And as the steam clings close to things to come
     It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

     Once upon a time there was confusion
     Disappointment, fear and disillusion
     Now there's hope reborn with every morning
     See the future clearly at its dawning
     Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
     Whilst water slips into the sea
     The father's sad to see it's free

     As shadows creep towards their master night
     It came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves
     And as the peace descended all around
     It came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world

     Once upon a time there was confusion
     Disappointment, fear and disillusion
     Now there's hope reborn with every morning
     See the future clearly at its dawning
     Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
     Whilst water slips into the sea
     The father's sad to see it's free

     Once upon a time there was confusion
     Disappointment, fear and disillusion
     Now there's hope reborn with every morning
     See the future clearly at its dawning

     Once upon a time there was confusion
     Disappointment, fear and disillusion
