I Believe In Fairy Tales

As a little girl
I believed in knights in shining armor
magic in the water
and happily ever after

Then I grew up
I had to slay my own dragons
look at the grass beneath my feet
and the realities of the world

But I believe
that my feet can be on the ground
while my head's in the clouds
and my heart beats free

Because of you
I have a knight in rusty armor
A dragon in my pocket
and a mermaid's song

Life is a fairy tale
as long as you see beyond
the once upon a time
to the happily ever after

So dream your dreams
see the world
live in both
and find your balance
