You gave your all, how could they be so cruel?
What were you missing to stay the fool?
Mama said be kind and all will be well
Most of all be kind to yourself
Why are we afraid to try?
Why are we compelled to deny?
To deny ourselves of living our dreams
Instead we fall apart at the seams
Tell me how did you know?
There was something else
Ella what made you grow?
What was in this book of spells?
Ella you had to tell your story
Once upon a view
From within, came all the glory
Once upon a view
We did not know, but now we do
Thank you Ella
Pushed so far, you fell in the darkness
Overdue review, confronting the madness
You were never kind to yourself
Only too kind to everybody else
A formless way to be, set you free
To embody a new life of dignity
From the coldest blackest night
Precious seed, you finally found the light
Tell us how did you know?
There was something else
Ella what made you grow?
What was in this book of spells?
Ella you had to tell your story
Once upon a view
From within, came all the glory
Once upon a view
Ella you had to tell your story
Once upon a view
From within, came all the glory
Once upon a view
There's always more than meets the eye
When you finally find your why
Once upon a view
All those thorns protect the rose
Free to walk the path you chose
Once upon a view
Once upon a view
