Fairytale Life (The Wish)

Once upon a time

Back there in Andalasia

Rules were clear and colors didn't fade

And once you found your happily-ever-after

Your happily-ever-after always stayed

And then I journeyed here

Where true love's kiss was waiting

Met my prince, became his princess wife

But was my ever-after just temporary?

How I miss that fairy-tale life

Where you wake each day

And nothing's changed

And your daughter doesn't feel estranged

I thought I'd found a place

Where I could make things better

But all I did was change where I would fail

Oh, what do I do if I don't belong

Where life can never be a fairy tale?

Where life can never be a fairy—

Look, Pip, it's the Wand of Wishes

That's the answer

If I want happiness

I need to make things the way I want them to be

And so I make this wish

Where life is so confusing

And pain can cut you sharper than a knife

I wish that we all would live someplace where

Songs of the flowers ring in the air

And ogres and dragons are all that is scary

Give us all a fairy-tale life

I wish we had a fairy-tale life

Oh, Pip, I guess it didn't work

Oh, well, tomorrow is another day
