Far Away And Long Ago

Far away, and long ago...

Long ago, and far away...

There were Princes

And Kings

There were Jesters

And Queens

Princesses with Knights

To defend them

All wrapped up

In a magical kingdom

There were mighty Dragons

And evil Viziers

Sorcerers, monsters

Living nightmares

Fairy Godmothers

Who soared on the wing

Traveling bards

Who loved to sing

For far away

And long ago

Is a land very different

From what you might know

Magical spells

curses, hexes galore

Talking foxes, and bushes

And rabbits, and more

Where rubies fall from your lips

If you be truly good

While toads take their place

If you do naught as you should

Where things come in threes

Heed the wise woman's word

Never forsake warning

In the song of a bird

For far away

And long ago

Is a land very different

From what you may know

Never give your true name

But never be impolite

For rudeness could bring

Ruin and blight

Magic runs rampant

Song fills the air

Nymphs and Elves dance

With nary a care

Turn to stone

Change your form

But don't worry

Be not forlorn

Sewing sweaters

Without a word

Could bring one's brothers

Lots of good

Never trust stepmothers

Or turn your back on loyalty

Never abandon sisters

Or doubt what you could be

Never forget

Never forgive

Never give up

Continue to live

Don't ignore curiosity

Don't forget where you began

Don't ignore the words of cats

Or the whispers of a fan

Don't judge based on poor appearance

Don't write off the meek

Don't ignore ones who suffer

They might not be truly weak

The Moon tells its story

The Sun sings its song

They will guide you on your way

If you choose to come along

Far away

Long ago

Far away

Long ago

It's a land

Very different

From what

You might know

Long ago, and far away....

Far away, and long ago...
