One Life

One life, one chance
One life, one dream

All around me people saying how can you be this way
Do you feel your part is somehow better than the play
Don't you think that you should be hurting
Don't you feel the pain
What use is it to try an struggle
What is left to gain

Don't you know
You don't have to feel this loneliness emptiness
Make a space where you belong
There's no right or wrong
Don't you know

CHORUS

One life, one chance
I'm not a willing victim of my circumstances
One life, one dream
Don't be sitting in judgment
I'm not what I seem to be
I'm not what I seem

All around me people saying how empty that they feel
Weighed down by their frustrations
Forgetting what is real
The skill of happiness eludes them like a specter in the night
No way I can convince them
Against themselves they fight

But I won't, no I won't
Let them run me 'round drag me down
Make a space where I belong
There's no right or wrong
Don't you know

CHORUS
