Shaggy and Sting- One lifetime


[Intro] 
         

[Verse 1]

The time has c

ome, the world

 has said,

To talk of man

y things,

Of ships and s

hoes and seali

ng wax,

Of cabbages an

d kings.


Life a the gre

atest gift giv

en to humanity

,

Surround yours

elf with a lot

 a positive en

ergy,

Yuh caan buy i

t even if yuh 

have wull heap

 a money,

A das why we s

pread love ina

 the community

.

Yuh coulda be 

small man or a

 celebrity,

Yuh coulda liv

e uptown or di

 ina city,

Wi need a worl

d full peace a

nd serenity,

Sting come sin

g out fi every

body.

[Verse 2]

The time has c

ome, as Shaggy

 said,

To talk of man

y things,

Of ships and s

hoes and seali

ng wax,

Of cabbages an

d kings.


The planets tu

ne in retrogra

de,

The moon seems

 to have fled,

The world is s

pinning upside

 down,

And landed on 

its head.


[Chorus]
             
Just one lifet

 
ime,
              
And there's on

             
ly one, yes th

            
ere's only one

.
             
Just one life 

   
to live,
              
Assuming that 

      
we'll make it,
                       

We've no choice but to take it.

[Verse 3]

I'm with you, 

the Walrus sai

d,

We'll dress fo

r heavy weathe

r,

Whatever's on 

the road ahead

,

We're in this 

now together.


We thought we'

d make a run f

or it,

Not knowing wh

ere we're head

ed,

We packed the 

car with both 

our bags,

And filled her

 up unleaded.


[Chorus]
             
Just one lifet

 
ime,
              
And there's on

             
ly one, yes th

            
ere's only one

.
             
Just one life 

   
to live,
              
Assuming that 

      
we'll make it,
              
We've no choic

         
e but to take 

it.


[Verse 4]

Come Meck wi T

eck a page out

 a di book of 

life,

Lego negativit

y and do what'

s right,

Wi no longer n

eed fi a fuss 

or fight,

Unite the worl

d an show dem 

di right.

Dis generation

 a set a new t

rend,

Replace di wor

d enemy wid fr

iend,

Leaders a di w

orld these rul

es can't bend,

dis a di messa

ge wi send to 

dem.


The time had c

ome, a reckoni

ng,

We all knew it

 was coming,

We headed Nort

h on empty roa

ds,

The engine gen

tly humming.


The Walrus smo

ked a cigarett

e,

He claimed it 

was his last,

No signs of li

fe, no gas, no

 food,

In all the emp

ty towns we pa

ssed.


All we have is

 me and you,

It has to be e

nough,

I've got your 

back and you'v

e got mine,

If the going i

t gets rough.

[Chorus]
             
Just one lifet

 
ime,
              
And there's on

             
ly one, yes th

            
ere's only one

.
             
Just one life 

   
to live,
              
Assuming that 

      
we'll make it,
              
We've no choic

         
e but to take 

it.


The time has c

ome, the Walru

s said,

To talk of man

Of ships and s

hoes and seali

Of cabbages an

d kings.
