Fairy Tales of Hope
When I was young
Fairy tales filled my mind
I dreamt of my prince
Coming to take me away
And if I wished on a star
My dreams would come true
And if my heart cried out
Love would save me
But by growing up
Every tale told became cursed
There was no prince
Stars denied my wishes
And dreams that I dared to dream
Never did come true
Hopes faded
As I became jaded
Life grew dark
Life was killing the dream
But I needed to somehow keep those precious tales alive
With each shattered dream I grew stronger
Finding myself returning to those tales
Believing what my heart always knew
That someday my prince would come
And someday a wish upon a star
Would come true
It wasn't until I heard those voices again
Of love and hope
Snow White and Cinderella
Singing to me familiar songs
Where I could begin to dream again
And live again
Hope was alive
Because of those stories
If you're told something enough times
You'll start to believe
And I did with all my heart
And still do today
Even though everyone tells me
"That only happens in fairy tales"
The little innocent girl within
Refuses to let those tales go
