My Once Upon a Time
David Goldsmith, John Kavanaugh
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Your friends have turned to stone
And that's on you
You had a cause to serve, but did you serve it?
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?
This is not your father's fairytale
And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail
So when your story comes to light
Make sure the story that they write
Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder
Once upon a time she tried again
Once upon a braver choice
She took a risk
She used her voice
And that will be my once upon a time
This time
Why tell all those lies?
You feel unworthy
Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand
But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation
You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand
This is not your mother's dark desire
And no, it's not your father's hair on fire
Turns out it's you who's not awake
So if there's change you wanna make
Take once upon a time she fought a dragon
Once upon a time that beast was me
Once upon a misspent youth
She faced herself
She spoke the truth
That's how I see my once upon a time
This time
Life is not a storybook, but life unfolds in chapters
Turn the page and start to make amends
There's no pre-written guarantee of, "Happily ever after"
Step into your greatness before your story ends
So when your story ends
They'll say once upon a time a girl flew higher
Once upon a time she made things right
Once upon a tie that binds
She changed her heart
To change their minds
That's got to be my once upon a time
This once upon a time
I'll finally see my once upon a time
This time
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Voici où tu es seule, et tu le mérites
Your friends have turned to stone
Tes amis se sont transformés en pierre
And that's on you
Et c'est de ta faute
You had a cause to serve, but did you serve it?
Tu avais une cause à servir, mais l'as-tu servie ?
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?
Ou t'es-tu vue d'une manière qui n'était pas vraie ?
This is not your father's fairytale
Ce n'est pas le conte de fées de ton père
And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail
Et non, ce n'est pas la faute de ta mère si tu échoues
So when your story comes to light
Alors quand ton histoire sera révélée
Make sure the story that they write
Assure-toi que l'histoire qu'ils écrivent
Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder
Dit qu'il était une fois une fille qui a essayé plus fort
Once upon a time she tried again
Il était une fois, elle a essayé encore
Once upon a braver choice
Il était une fois un choix plus courageux
She took a risk
Elle a pris un risque
She used her voice
Elle a utilisé sa voix
And that will be my once upon a time
Et ce sera mon il était une fois
This time
Cette fois
Why tell all those lies?
Pourquoi raconter tous ces mensonges ?
You feel unworthy
Tu te sens indigne
Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand
Comme s'il n'y avait pas de terrain solide sur lequel tu peux te tenir
But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation
Mais un tas de mensonges n'est pas une base solide
You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand
Tu ne peux pas construire un château sur une montagne faite de sable
This is not your mother's dark desire
Ce n'est pas le sombre désir de ta mère
And no, it's not your father's hair on fire
Et non, ce n'est pas les cheveux de ton père en feu
Turns out it's you who's not awake
Il s'avère que c'est toi qui n'est pas éveillée
So if there's change you wanna make
Alors s'il y a un changement que tu veux faire
Take once upon a time she fought a dragon
Prends il était une fois, elle a combattu un dragon
Once upon a time that beast was me
Il était une fois, cette bête était moi
Once upon a misspent youth
Il était une fois une jeunesse mal dépensée
She faced herself
Elle s'est confrontée à elle-même
She spoke the truth
Elle a dit la vérité
That's how I see my once upon a time
C'est ainsi que je vois mon il était une fois
This time
Cette fois
Life is not a storybook, but life unfolds in chapters
La vie n'est pas un livre d'histoires, mais la vie se déroule en chapitres
Turn the page and start to make amends
Tourne la page et commence à faire amende honorable
There's no pre-written guarantee of, "Happily ever after"
Il n'y a pas de garantie pré-écrite de "ils vécurent heureux pour toujours"
Step into your greatness before your story ends
Entre dans ta grandeur avant que ton histoire ne se termine
So when your story ends
Alors quand ton histoire se termine
They'll say once upon a time a girl flew higher
Ils diront il était une fois une fille qui a volé plus haut
Once upon a time she made things right
Il était une fois, elle a réparé les choses
Once upon a tie that binds
Il était une fois un lien qui unit
She changed her heart
Elle a changé son cœur
To change their minds
Pour changer leurs esprits
That's got to be my once upon a time
Cela doit être mon il était une fois
This once upon a time
Ce il était une fois
I'll finally see my once upon a time
Je verrai enfin mon il était une fois
This time
Cette fois
Here you are alone, and you deserve it
Aqui você está sozinho, e você merece isso
Your friends have turned to stone
Seus amigos se transformaram em pedra
And that's on you
E isso é por sua causa
You had a cause to serve, but did you serve it?
Você tinha uma causa para servir, mas você a serviu?
Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?
Ou você se viu de uma maneira que não era verdadeira?
This is not your father's fairytale
Esta não é a história de fadas do seu pai
And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail

Make sure the story that they write
Certifique-se de que a história que eles escrevem
Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder
Vai uma vez uma menina tentou mais
Once upon a time she tried again
Uma vez ela tentou de novo
Once upon a braver choice
Uma vez uma escolha mais corajosa
She took a risk
Ela arriscou
She used her voice
Ela usou sua voz
And that will be my once upon a time
E essa será minha vez de uma vez
This time
Desta vez
Why tell all those lies?
Por que contar todas essas mentiras?
You feel unworthy
Você se sente indigno
Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand
Como se não houvesse um terreno sólido para você ficar
But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation
Mas um monte de mentiras não é uma base firme
You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand
Você não pode construir um castelo em uma montanha feita de areia
This is not your mother's dark desire
Este não é o desejo sombrio da sua mãe
And no, it's not your father's hair on fire
E não, não é o cabelo do seu pai pegando fogo
Turns out it's you who's not awake
Acontece que é você quem não está acordado
So if there's change you wanna make
Então, se há uma mudança que você quer fazer
Take once upon a time she fought a dragon
Pegue uma vez ela lutou contra um dragão
Once upon a time that beast was me
Uma vez que a fera era eu
Once upon a misspent youth
Uma vez uma juventude mal gasta
She faced herself
Ela enfrentou a si mesma
She spoke the truth
Ela falou a verdade
That's how I see my once upon a time
É assim que vejo minha vez de uma vez
This time
Desta vez

Once upon a tie that binds
Uma vez um laço que une

Ela mudou seu coração
To change their minds
Para mudar suas mentes

Isso tem que ser minha vez de uma vez
This once upon a time
Esta vez de uma vez

Aber ein Stapel Lügen ist kein festes Fundament
