Lyrics

Verse 1

Once upon a time in a faraway land

The King of all the universe stretched out His hand

He spoke into the darkness, “Let there be light,”

And this is where the story begins

This is where the story begins

Verse 2

Once upon a time in a curse-ridden land

The King of all the universe came as a man

He spoke into the darkness, “I am the Light,”

And this is where the story begins

Pre-Chorus

Meanwhile, back in heaven, God, the Living Word

The Author and Perfecter of faith has sworn to return

Chorus

And never again will tears be cried

And never again will we have to die

This isn’t the end, this is the start of life

It’s a happy ever after

Verse 3

Once upon a time in a sin-stricken land

The King of all the universe died as a Lamb

The earth quaked as the darkness swallowed the Light

But this is where the story begins

Chorus 2

Never again will victory hide 

And never again will He have to die and 

Never again will darkness swallow light

And never again will tears be cried

And never again will we have to die

This isn’t the end, this is the start of life

It’s a happy ever after

Pre-Chorus 2

Meanwhile, back in heaven, God, the Living Word

The Author and Perfecter of faith is soon to return

Verse 4

Only for a time we will eagerly wait

The King of all the universe is coming to reign

Soon will be no darkness; He is the light

And this is where His glory begins

Chorus

And never again will tears be cried

And never again will we have to die

This isn’t the end, this is the start of life

Chorus 3

The End (once upon a time), our tears will dry and

The End, (once upon a time) our victory’s nigh and

The End, (once upon a time) darkness is swallowed by light

It’s a happy ever after

This is where His glory begins
