Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've only got one life to live
So live it in peace
Live it in truth
Live it in love (Live it in love, live it in love)
[Verse 2]
Why don't you live each day
Like it's your last one?
You take control of your emotion
All your doubts and your fears
[Verse 3]
And just laugh
At the world
And all its sadness
And replace joy
For those salty bitter tears
[Verse 4]
'Cause you've got one life to live
So give it your all
Give it a lot
Give it your best shot (Give it a lot, give it your best shot)
[Verse 5]
And then you greet every day
With a little love in your heart
You go and do all the things you desire
All the things you dream of
[Verse 6]
Because today is the beginning
Of a brand new life
You have to fail sometimes in order for you to succeed
[Verse 7]
You got one life to live
So live it in peace
Live it in truth
Live it in love (Live it in love, live it in love)
[Verse 8]
If you're feeling down and out, let's sing
If you're sad, I'll make you laugh
And if you become pumped with too much pride
Remember that everything, everything must pass
[Verse 9]
You've got one life to live
So live it in peace
Live it in truth
Live it in love (Live it in love, live it in love)
[Verse 10]
You've got one life to live
So give it your all
Give it a lot
Give it your best shot (Give it a lot, give it your best shot)
[Verse 11]
I said you got one life to live
So live it in peace
Live it in truth
Why don't you live it in love?
(Live it in love, live it in love)
[Verse 12]
I said you've got one life
That's all you get
So you better make the best of it
You got one life
That's all you've got
So be sure that you make it a lot
[Verse 13]
And just remember what goes around it comes around
So be sure when you turn it loose it's what
You want to come down
You've got one life (One life)
That's all you've got (One life to live)
[Verse 14]
You got one life
That's all you get (One life to live)
So give it your best
Just give it a lot
Why don't you give it your best shot?
[Verse 15]
You've got one life
That's all you get (One life to live)
Oh, just one life
That's all you've got (One life to live)
[Verse 16]
Yeah, you've got one life, that's all you got
You better greet each day
With a brand new shot (One life to live)
