Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The time has come, the walrus said
Talk of many things
Shippin' shoes and sealin' wax
Of cabbages and kings
[Verse 2]
Life are the greatest gift given to humanity
Surround yourself with a lot of positive energy
Ya can't bite even if you up or leap harmony
And that's why we spread lovin' at the community
Ya could a be a smart man or a celebrity
You could a live up to the inner city
We need a world full of peace and serenity
Sing, come sing out here, everybody
[Verse 3]
The time has come, Shaggy said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
[Verse 4]
The planet's turning retrograde
The moon seems to have flared
The world is spinning upside down
And landed on its head
[Verse 5]
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, yeah
Assumin' that we'll make it
No choice but to take it
Come on
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
Assumin' that we'll make it
No choice but to take it
[Verse 8]
Man, we could take page out of the book of life
Let go negativity and do what's right
We no longer need to fuss or fight
Unite the world and show them what's right
This generation a set a new trend
Replace the word enemy with friends
Leaders of the world, these rules can bend
This are the message we all send to them
[Verse 9]
The time had come, a reckoning
We all knew it was coming
We held not on empty rules
The engine gently hummin'
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've 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 goin', it gets rough
[Verse 10]
Just one lifetime
One life to live long
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 now
Assumin' that we'll make it
No choice but to take it
[Verse 11]
The time has come, the walrus said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
