There once was an island with sands as white as snow
Where fishes ruled the waters and the sea was free to flow
The breeze blew through the palm trees
And the sand dunes touched the sun
Such beauty that man could not describe
Once upon a paradisethen one day some strangers came captivated by the sights
They made a home along the shores and lived a peaceful life
Soon others came to join them and in the balance they all thrived
Respecting all around them for a while
Once upon a paradise…but the winds of change were not so kind
And progress bargained in disguise
Promising prosperity and better way of life
So they paved the sand and walled the sea
And turned the dunes into concrete
And created what they all thought would be nice…
Once upon a paradise…there once was an island where people swarmed the streets
Boats cluttered up the waters and buildings hid the beach
They could have left a little but greed made them take it all
They buried all their treasures for a price
Once upon a paradise…so they rearranged the palm trees and changed around the shore
Now the only site there left to see is one most can't afford
And everyday they fight the waves as it tries to regain ground
And everyone thinks that it's all right…
It's a shame that no one bothered to think twice…
Once upon a paradise…there once was and island with such beauty rare to find
We all know how the story goes …
Once upon a paradise…
Yes we all know how the story ends each time…
Once upon a paradise….words & music by nick granato
