Once upon an accident
As time and tide would swirl
I left the comfort of the warmth
And came into this world
Though no great symphony was heard
By heavens' hand arranged
For a weary mum and proud new dad
The world was all that changed
They call this life an accident, when nothing can be blamed
There's no such thing as accident; it's only fate misnamed
Once upon an accident
As sun and eyes would shine
Across a room like any else
Your gaze was locked with mine
Though no great symphony was heard
By heavens' hand arranged
For a pigtailed girl and quiet boy
The world was all that changed
They call this life an accident, when nothing can be blamed
There's no such thing as accident; it's only fate misnamed.
Chancing on the surface with no reason to be found
A lifetime laced with purpose, in direction tightly bound
Once upon an accident
As moods and tires would swerve
I left this world in pain to match
The sharpness of the curve
A symphony of violence
By the beast's own hand arranged
For a redhaired girl and red-stained boy
The world was all that changed
They call this life an accident, when nothing can be blamed
There's no such thing as accident; it's only fate misnamed
