AMY GRANT lyrics - Fairytale

(Brown Bannister & Amy Grant)



Fairytale, my life was just a fairytale

I was letting an illusion come into this heart of mine

Fairytale, searching for a fairytale

Hiding in a world where life was simple all the time



I was just like Peter Pan in Never Never land,

Afraid of what the future might be

Afraid to face the things I couldn't understand,

Afraid of things that I couldn't see



But fantasy,

I know there's more to life than a fantasy

There's so much more that my life was meant to be

So much more than make believe



Fairytale, it seems just like a fairytale,

But there's something in my heart that says this time the story's real

Fairytale, extra-ordinary tale,

Of a King who offers love so far beyond what I can feel



There's a world out there that human eyes can never see,

But it's just within the reach of the heart

Two Princes wage the battle for eternity,

But the Victor has been known from the start



Now I can see

The truth can seem so much like fantasy

But make believe was never as real to me

I know this time the story's true



I was just like Sleeping Beauty in a Netherland

I was dying under a spell

But then a Prince who comes from a foreverland

Awakened me from my fairytale
