Just One Life
Words and music by Michael Day

Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
You walk alone and you feel so blinded and torn,
When you?re not sure where you?re going
But you want to see what you?ve left behind you to know
If you?re in the right direction.
But giving up the comfort that you afford,
For a life uncertain is better than a life ignored
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Monday in your cubicle filled with papers and sighs
You let your job just slowly kill you
Remember as a child when the teacher asked you your dreams
Why did you give up dreams so quickly?
Every boy and girl and boy they knew then that life was theirs
To change the world
What have you done since then till now?
Have you done what your told, or moved on?
Have you kept in your place single file?
Or did you color inside your lines?
What you gonna do when you got nothing to lean on?
What you gonna do when you got nothing to lean on?
What have we done since then till now with just one life to lead?
Every boy and girl they knew then life was theirs to live
What have we done since then till now with just one life to live?
Every boy and girl they knew then life was theirs to live
Baby come on come on come on come on come on
Never give up your dreams no
And you can be anything you dream
