[Verse 1]

[Emma]
There's this feeling
That I've had since before I remember
A memory that glows like an ember
Of a place or a time and a home
I almost see it so close that I could be it
It calls to me
Something from my past
Something missing
Like a purpose at last
It's a hope inside
Even though I've tried to run away from it
There's nowhere to hide

[Snow]
There's a story
Of a maiden who lies in a forest
Waiting asleep

[Charming]
And a hero
With a promise to keep
And a vow I'd always find you
At last, it's all behind you
[Snow]
We'll set things right

[Charming]
No more wars to fight

[Snow and Charming]
A happy ending
As our kingdoms unite

[Snow]
With our hearts as one

[Charming]
Our new life begun

[Snow/Charming]
In a future that's as bright as the sun

[Emma]
So I close my eyes and dream of places I've been to in my mind

[Snow/Charming]
Where the story ends with love
And broken dreams are left behind
[Emma]
I made a choice to hear my voice
A story that is mine

[Snow/Charming]
Even through the darkness I will make my way to find

[Emma]
My Once Upon a Time

[Verse 2]

[Regina]
There's a story
Of a life that was changed by a child
Broken and torn and defiled
Stolen happy endings
So fragile I could break it
So close that I could take it
I've paid my price
Made my sacrifice
Left with nothing
But your pain will suffice
So I'll tip the scale and rewrite the tale
With a twist where only I will prevail
[Hook]
There's a story
Of a love that was stolen by vengeance
By jealousy's rage

[Rumplestiltskin]
And a villain
Left to rot in a cage

[Hook]
A coward using magic

[Rumple]
A life cut short, how tragic

[Regina]
I will make her pay

[Hook]
He will curse the day

[Regina]
That she robbed me

[Regina/Hook]
That she robbed me
Took my future away

[Regina]
Now the time has come

[Hook]
Now the wait is done

[Rumple]
It's a journey that we've only begun!

[Hook]
So I'll chart a course and sail for places
That I have yet to find

[Regina]
A place where the only happy endings will be mine

[Hook]
To leave behind
A love confined

[Rumple]
By love and loss, intertwined

[Regina]
Only in the darkness can you change your fate defined
By Once Upon a Time

[Snow]
A choice that we made

[Charming]
A curse we will break

[Regina]
Robbed of their memories without an escape

[Rumple]
A line that's been drawn

[Hook]
To rewrite a wrong

[Emma]
I know there's a place somewhere that I belong

When I close my eyes and dream of places that I have yet to find

[Regina]
A place where the only happy endings will be mine

[Hook]
I made a vow

[Rumple]
What happens now

[Snow/Charming]
Our story changed somehow

[Regina/Hook/Rumple]
Only in the darkness can you leave your life defined

[Snow/Charming]
Even through the darkness I will make my way to find

[Emma]
My Once Upon a Time
