Audra Caffrey - Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Once upon a time in her mind so far away
Lived a girl lost through the night, who had drifted astray
She cried herself to sleep, with dreams of brighter days
When laughter filled her life, and hope lit up her way
But now she walks with her head held down
Her heart heavy, her soul feels bound
She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone
I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home
Break these chains, lift me from this fall
I surrender all to You, help me stand tall
In the silence, His love poured through
And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new
Wandering the streets, her world was cold and bare
No place to call her own, just shadows everywhere
One desperate night, she fell to her knees
Looked up to the stars and whispered, God, help me, please
Her heart that once was filled with pain
Now reached out for love again
She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone
I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home
Break these chains, lift me from this fall
I surrender all to You, help me stand tall
In the silence, His love poured through
And she knew she'd rise, He'd make
Her new
I can't do this on my own, she prayed
I've reached out for love again
She cried, God help me, I can't fight alone
I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home
Break these chains, lift me from this fall
I surrender all to You, help me stand tall
In the silence, His love poured through
And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new
I can't do this on my own, she prayed
I'm powerless, but I'm ready to obey
Guide me, Lord, show me Your plan
I give You my heart, take my hand
With every tear, she felt His grace
Lifting her from her darkest place
She cried, God, help me, I can't fight alone
I'm lost in the dark, I need a way home
Break these chains, lift me from this fall
I surrender all to You, help me stand tall
In the silence, His love poured through
And she knew she'd rise, He'd make her new
Now she walks with her head held high
No longer lost, no longer asking why
Through faith, her soul was finally free
She found her way, and God held the key
No more darkness, no more fear
With God beside her, everything's clear
She's standing tall, no longer weak
Through His love, she found the strength she seeks
Once upon a time, she found her way
Through faith, through love, she learned to pray
Now her heart is free, and her future bright
With God by her side, she walks in light
God, You saved me, I'm no longer alone
You brought me through the storm, now I'm home
You broke these chains, lifting me from the fall
I stand in Your grace, and You made me tall
With every step, His love will carry her through
And in His arms, she's been made new.
