Nobody knows which way you'll go
I can't control you
I pray tomorrow 
Is brighter than today

I should not try to live two lives
I only have one
I only have one
You have yours and I have mine
We only have one life

I watch you make the same mistake
You learn the hard way
I pray tomorrow you will hear
What love has to say

I should not try to live two lives
I only have one
I only have one
You have yours and I have mine
We only have one life

I try to hold you with an open hand
You run away, you're faster than I am
I can lead you to the water but I cannot make you drink
Is it too much to ask for you to simply stop and think 

Still I should not try to live two lives
I only have one
I only have one
You have yours and I have mine
We only have one life
And we only have one life
Yah, we only have one life
