Different Ever After

Look at the stars and moon so bright
Tonight they shine so peacefully
That even in the darkened sky
They're not afraid to burn, you see

But how many times have I been
Told to keep my heart and soul at bay
Can't count all the moments when they warned
“Don’t let your spirit lead the way”

Though in fairy tales
Things don’t stay the same
So even if it means that I tip the scales
I'm for a happy ending

Whoa uh oh
There's a light a-coming round
And now it’s set me free
This is a different ever after
No uh oh
Nothing else’ll bring me down
Or get a hold on me
I'm gonna make my ever after

Yeah, this is a different ever after
Yeah, I'm gonna make my ever after

Somedays we get so deep in pain
We lose the chances to receive
The blessings sink and strip away
‘Cause those around us don't believe

It don't matter how they try
To tear me, scare me, hurt me with their words
The sticks and the stones may fly
But I don’t care, I'm staying

Whoa uh oh
There's a light a-coming round
And now it’s set me free
This is a different ever after
No uh oh
Nothing else’ll bring me down
Or get a hold on me
I'm gonna make my ever after

Betting that it won't be easy
Bound to cross the line, yeah
I won't care how long it takes
I’ll sing it from the mountains high

Princes on horses white
They don't have to come
For me to understand in this second life
I’ll find my new beginning

Whoa uh oh
There's a light a-coming round
And now it’s set me free
This is a different ever after
Yeah
Nothing else’ll get a hold on me
Yeah, I'm gonna make my ever after

Yeah, this is a different ever after
Yeah, I'm gonna make my ever after
