Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Once upon a time
Gather round and I will tell
Of a land that was a paradise
And a creature there did dwell
Monkey swing down from the tree
Onto the fertile ground
Man walked upon the earth
Onto the happy hunting ground
And the earth was good and its fruit was bountiful
The fire kept us warm through the night

There was no poison in the air or on the ground
It all happened once upon a time
And soon it came to pass
Man began to shape and mold
His fear of nature and his intellect
Led him to conquer the world
Progress and technology
Religion comfort and whim
It will destroy what created it
When the end does begin
And the earth was good…
