HOW LONG DID IT LAST
OJO 2004

Once upon a time
when water tasted
like sweet wine

How long did we try
how long were we denied

Once upon a time
when love
was all around

Once upon a time
when man and woman
could walk hand in hand

Once upon a time
when the rain
was still to come

Once upon a time
when there was
hope for mankind

Once upon a time
when the world
was a free place

Once upon a time
before we lost
our will to understand

Once upon a time
will never come again
we have missed the
whole point
in God's great plan
and now we can only
live for one thing
death in dishonor

Once upon a time
we were really human
but we turned into something
that is unexplainable

How long did we really try
to find and understand
the real meaning in
life and love
