End of me

I was the one to call the shots
Dream my dreams hard and slow
Answered only to my self
Never giving up control
Until the one day that brought me to my knees
And I would never be the same

[Chorus:]
Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all
To lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
And everything I had I left behind
To find true life
Well all I longed for I found finally
At the end of me

And now are gone those wasted days
The selfish soul the emptiness
Love had dimly been replaced
But that old life is laid to rest
And now the new me
Is stronger day by day
I will never be the same

Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all
Just to lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
And everything I had I left behind
To find true life
Well all I longed for I found finally
At the end of me
And like an answer to a prayer
Jesus you were there
Calling me to live, to die, to give to gain
And I'll never be the same

Oh
Once upon a time the story goes
I laid it all down and let it go
To lose it all
Just to lose it all
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
And everything I had I left behind
To find true life
Well all I longed for I found finally
At the end of me
it's the end of me
