Once

Once I placed my heart in a box
wrapped it up tight
so it couldn't be lost

Once I knew what it meant to be free
to feel the wind on my face
to love and to breathe

Once I didn't know who I wanted to be
I would shape myself 'round
the wind and the sea

Once I looked up and found myself lost
I was no longer known
a shell discarded and tossed

Once I gave myself to someone new
unwrapped myself bare
and became one with you

Once I placed my heart in a box
hold fast to it now
so it cannot be lost
