[Verse 1]
I couldn't see the shadows in the dark
'Til someone turned the light on, and freed me from the past
Everything I know I learned from you
But the stories that you told me were never true

[Chorus]
Oh, once upon a time, you turned water into wine
Pulled the wool over my eyes, bathing me in lies
Now the river's running wild, feel the turning of the tides
Made my peace and paid my price
Now I've taken back my mind
Taken back my mind

[Verse 2]
I couldn't see or hear or even speak
'Cause everyone's a sinner if they don't believe
Deaf to any controversy
All the whispers 'round the table used to promise me that

[Chorus]
Oh, once upon a time, you turned water into wine
Pulled the wool over my eyes, bathing me in lies
Now the river's running wild, feel the turning of the tides
Made my peace and paid my price
Now I've taken back my mind
Taken back my mind

[Bridge]
Let me leave quietly
Don't hold me back or cause a scene
Let me leave quietly
I'll leave you with some dignity
Let me leave quietly
Don't hold me back or cause a scene
Let me leave quietly
I'll leave you with some dignity

[Chorus]
Oh, once upon a time, you turned water into wine
Pulled the wool over my eyes, bathing me in lies
Now the river's running wild, feel the turning of the tides
Made my peace and paid my price
Now I've taken back my mind
Taken back my mind
Taking back my mind
Taking back my mind
