[Verse 1]
From a far off galaxy
I hear you calling me
We are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago, someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way
[Verse 2]
Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in winged flight
As we cross the starry sea
Powered by what we see
Now and then, a victory
[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago, someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way
[Bridge]
There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in a desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be
Each other's destiny
One another's odyssey
[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago, someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way
[Outro]
We've met along the way
Met along the way
