Happily Ever After

This is a song we are learning for Girls' Camp.  I have yet to be able to sing or listen to it without bawling.  I think this song is one reason I was called to work in Young Womens.  It was definitely inspired.

2. Happily Ever After

(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton/Cherie Call)

Once upon a time

A child was born into this life

Heaven could be seen in her eyes

There was no doubt she was divine

And if you are still you will feel the truth

That the princess in this wondrous story is you

It’s your time

It’s your destiny to shine

So arise

Be true to the royal

That’s inside of you

Don’t settle for the story that

The world would have you write

You were born to reach eternal life

Let faith fill every chapter

Let the Savior lead you to

Happily ever after

Sometimes in your life

The world will cast a spell

And try to make your conscience fall asleep

And forget the woman God would have you be

But if you are still you will understand

The noble role you play in his plan

Chorus

Bridge:

When the forests fills with darkness

And wolves seek your soul

Just know

You are simply in the place between

Your once upon a time and your triumph in the end

Chorus

Vocals: Jenny Phillips & Julie Yardley

Arranged by Tyler Castleton

  1. Oh my...this is a wonderfully emotion-evoking song. I teared up too and that's hard to do. Thank you for sharing it. :) I hope you're enjoying your time away from the kids. ;)
