Once Upon A Sign Lyrics

I still remember his silhouette in the early AM

The day he and I first met

I still remember the coy roulette as our eyes place bets

Attest who might take the first steps

The silent tremors and nervous embers beneath my chest

Ablaze by our baited breath

Of all contenders his patient temper transcends the rest

Blessed once our hands caress

Then I saw my father smiling wide

A sign I would only see but once upon a time

Maybe it was all the manors and the car

Whatever he saw he could tell it from the start

Finally a man he can applaud

His integrity is no facade

I still remember on the drive

Never notice if we're losing time

Flying fast across a couple state lines

Searching for some peace a mind

Out the window I could just unwind

As he lay his hand across my thigh

Oh so, this is how it's gonna go

Oh no, this is no coincidence

I know, oh I believe so

When I saw my family smiling wide

A sign I would only see but once upon a time

Maybe it was how he stood out from the crowd

No one up till now got the chance to come around

Honesty is something to applaud

Oh his loyalty is no facade

We moved a little reckless

Perhaps a bit too careless

Dismissive to other's perspective

'Cause in the heat of that morning

All I could hear was their mourning

Someone they feared they were losing

To a devil in disguise

They were warned of their whole life

How could I dare expect their arms to open wide

But all it took was time

And a promise to be kinds

To put aside our difference and have faith in His grace

And I see the Lord their by our side

What can only be the sign

I should recognize form once upon a time

Those moments I recall

His guidance 'fore the fall

And to this day I'm still in awe

This boy who brought me home's a man of God
