Once in a lifetime A night is crowned We can see the moon And friends stay true The light in the dark Has been found Once in a lifetime The future unfolds The spark of hope The launch of the rope The tapestry of life Has been sown We light the candles in the corridor As the band plays waltz in the foyer We dance over and over It's a brand new day For this masquerade New friends will stay Till the end It's a brand new time In all our lives There's no need for us To pretend For once in my life I'm not afraid To take off my mask This royal ball Will forever fall For the dreamers and lovers of this world This celestial night Of all our lives Is a story that forever'll be told
The candles are lit in the corridor As the waltz plays in the foyer We dance over and over Over and over It's a brand new day For this masquerade New friends will stay Till the end It's a brand new time In all our lives There's no need for us To pretend All my life I've been afraid To chase my dreams Covering my face So no one can see Holding onto my cards Staring at the stars Hoping one day My life will start It all starts here This royal ball Will forever fall For the dreamers and lovers of this world This celestial night Of all our lives Is a story that forever'll be told For once in my life I'm not afraid To take off my mask
