about

This song is years in the making for me. A product of rewrites, reworked melodies and production. But that's how much I believe in the stories shared in this song. It's more common than not to have similar experiences when it comes to our faith or lack of. The question is the same, is this real. More specifically, is God's love real?

The song doesn't answer those questions directly that but it does give a glimmer of hope in what can be the dark night of the soul.

lyrics

FAIRYTALE
By Donavan Henry

[VERSE 1]
Seen too much
Heard enough
He had been there
All he saw was
Tragedy and despair
No care at all for
What the world had to say
Lived life without hope
Cause his was a mistake

But It wasn’t long
Until he came to himself
He saw that he was lost
and needed some help

He remembered as a child
How he would pray
His soul began to cry
And all he could say was


[CHORUS]
I gotta know I need to know
Is it true that you still love me
I need to know if what I heard
Is more than just a fairytale

I got to know I need to know
Is it true that you still love me
Cause I’m hurting and I need you
To come and fix my soul
Fix my soul
Fix my soul

[VERSE 2]
There wasn't much
You could tell this one here
She was grown
Lived on her own
Paid all the bills
But beyond that smile
Were the cares of the world
Hurt by those she loved
Too many times to be concerned

Then one June came the news
So hard to bare
What she would give
For more time
It wasn’t fair

Then she remembered
As a child she would pray
Didn’t have all the right words
But she prayed anyway

[BRIDGE]

What lies in the
Dark nights
My soul
Needs to know
Are you with me there

Fragile
My faith fights
To know and believe
You are near to me

[CHORUS 2xs]
