Not That Kind of Fairy Tale video and lyrics.
Three times pleading
Three times asking
In fairy tales wishes are granted by 3
Three times weeping
but the request goes ungranted
This is not that kind of fairy tale
in this story
His grace is enough for me.
And power is not in perfection
but is perfected instead in weakness
And the fairy tale godmother comes
and waves her wand
But the result is not transformation
at least, not the kind I want
This is not that kind of fairy tale
this fairy tale is too real
And the pain can't be waved over
These wounds are for us to deeply feel
and the fair girl herself is as wicked as
her stepmother's girls
and the transformation needed
is not a dress or pretty curls
But a black heart is too deep to be touched
even in a fairy tale world.
And power is not in perfection
but is perfected instead in weakness
And the fairy tale godmother comes
and waves her wand
But the result is not transformation
at least, not the kind I want
It's a reverse fairy tale world
Instead of three wishes
three requests denied
Three days in the whale
and the earth's wounded side
a dark and dying world returned to life
when the Prince comes seeking his Cinderella bride
And I look and see - no godmother fairy
but You, all along.
And when I am weak, then I am strong.
Three times pleading
Three times asking
In fairy tales wishes are granted by 3
Three times weeping
but the request goes ungranted
This is not that kind of fairy tale
in this story
His grace is enough for me.
This is not that kind of fairy tale
in this story
His grace is enough for me.
I created the video using my Russian Christmas tree ornaments and choreographing a dance for them. Their stage was my dining room table.
The song Not That Kind of Fairy Tale is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and others.
