(verso 1)

I was the one to call the shots

Dreamed my dreams, heart and soul

Answered only to myself

Never giving up control

Until the one day, that brought me to my knees

And I would never be the same

(refrão)

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

Everything I had I left behind

To find true life

All I longed for I found finally

At the end of me

(verso 2)

Now they're gone, those wasted days

The selfish soul, the emptiness

Love moved in, they've been replaced

That old life is laid to rest

Now the new me is stronger day by day

I will never be the same

(refrão)

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

Everything I had I left behind

To find true life

All I longed for I found finally

At the end of me

(ponte)

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

(refrão)

To lose it all, to lose it all

I took a step of faith and said goodbye

To find true life

All I longed for I found finally

At the end of me At the end of me
