Lyrics

The time has come, the walrus said Talk of many things Ships and shoes and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings Life a the greatest gift given to humanity Surround yourself with a lot a positive energy Yuh can buy it even if yuh have whole heap a money An das why we spread love ina the community Yuh coulda be a small man or a celebrity Yuh coulda live uptown or di ina city Wi need a world of full peace and serenity Sting come sing out fi everybody The time has come, as Shaggy said To talk of many things Of ships and shoes and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings The planets tune in retrograde The moon seems to have fled The world is spinning upside down And landed on its head Just one lifetime And there's only one (And there is only one) Yes there's only one (Said there is only one) Just one life to live (One life to live) Assuming that we'll make it We've no choice but to take it I'm with you, the Walrus said We'll dress for heavy weather Whatever's on the road ahead We're in this now together We thought we'd make a run for it Not knowing where we're headed We packed the car with both our bags And filled her up unleaded Just one lifetime (One lifetime) And there's only one (And there is only one) Yes there's only one (And there is only one) Just one life to live (One life to live yeah) Assuming that we'll make it We've no choice but to take it One look wi take a page out a di book of life Let go negativity and do what's right Wi no longer need fi a fuss or fight Unite the world an show dem what's right Dis generation a set a new trend Replace di word enemy wid friends Leaders of the world these rules can't bend Dis a di message wi a sent to dem The time had come, a reckoning We all knew it was coming We headed North on empty roads The engine gently humming The Walrus smoked a cigarette He claimed it was his last No signs of life, no gas, no food In all the empty towns we passed For all we have is me and you It has to be enough I've got your back and you've got mine If the going, it gets rough Just one lifetime (One life to live ya) And there's only one (And there is only one) Yes there's only one (And there is only one) Just one life to live (One, one, one, one life to live) Assuming that we'll make it We've no choice but to take it The time has come, the Walrus said To talk of many things Of ships and shoes and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings
