“One Life” (2011) Hedley

Oh
Oh
Oh woah, one life [x3]
One chance, two lips, free falling
We’re about to lose our grip now
Five minutes too late
Can’t be messing with fate
It’s time to get loud

Cause we’ve been up
When we should’ve been sleeping
We’ve been down
When we could’ve been high
We’ll come alive, tonight
Woah!

It’s a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up woah!

If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Oh, woah, One Life [x3]
Don’t stop; don’t stop live it up [x2]

Last thing you wanna make
Is your first mistake
But it’s too late now
So get up,
Get ready
Not everybody’s betting against you anyhow

Cause we’ve been up
When we should’ve been sleeping
We’ve been down
When we could’ve been high
We’ll come alive, tonight
Woah!

It’s a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up woah!

If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop; live it up
Oh, woah, One Life [x3]
Don’t stop; don’t stop live it up

If you stop and think
You might start to sink
You can’t get it
If you don’t keep giving
Can’t get it if you don’t
Keep giving

Oh!
It’s a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Woah!

If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Oh woah, One Life [x3]
Don’t stop; don’t stop live it up [x2]
Oh woah, one life [x3]
Don’t stop; don’t stop live it up [x2]

This is a bonus post, kind of goes along with the first song for today and it’s the same letter, so I decided to share. Hedley is a Canadian band that was introduced to me by my Canadian friends, and this particular song also happens to have a great music video. I love all the children, jumping around and happy.

Not only is the music full of energy, the lyrics are all about living the one life we have; I love how he says “It’s a great big world and you’ll see/It could pass you by at light speed” – doesn’t that seem to be reality? The older we get the more responsibilities we take on, and it seems like time slips by faster and faster. This is one of those songs that I should play (and dance around my living room to) when I feel like I’m just wasting my time – and then get a drink of water and get to work!
