you only live one time

theres times when u can only be brave
and times when slack and slave
thats the difference between you and me
theres times at night when u just wonna cry
sitting under an empty sky
you dont know how lonley life can be
theres times when u feel so scared
u just break down into deep prayer
not knowing who can be listening
theres times when u just wonna give up
and other ocassions u need to live it up
and take whatever life is offering

theres times when you are all alone
and all u want is to go home
then u wish urself to sleep
dreams dont come true on there own
if u dont feed fire wood it will never grow
but now the pain begins to seep
theres times when the world and heavens seem like one
and u cant tell which one is one
its such a beautiful illusion
but fires die as fast as they grow
but how did this frustration get in so low
its such a painful confusion

theres times when bullet could sear your head
and you come out ending up not being dead
life and death go hand in hand
who would have guessed that i would come this far
in a world thats so big in a sky with so many stars
yet i still dont understand
theres times when a few yards of rope
could smash ur dreams and leave u no hope
as u watch lives crumble to the ground
and when u try to lift them up
u run into the problem of
urself to sumbling to the ground

i hear these storys about my fathers recollections
its hard to believe how one bottle of scotch could effect him
but thats the way it was
i start to see a patern grow
i would kill it but i just wonna no
what it could be if i rise above
theres times when u cant pretend to be brave
and theres nothing u could do exept be afraid
as u search for some sense in your mind
but as i continue through my days
i have come familiar with the phrase
you only live one time....
