Just One Lifetime (With Shaggy)

The time has come, the Walrus saidTo talk of many thingsOf ships and shoes and sealing waxOf cabbages and kingsLife a the greatest gift given to humanitySurround yourself with a lot a positive energyYuh can't buy it even if yuh have whole heap a moneyAnd dat's why we spread love ina the communityYuh coulda be small man or a celebrityYuh coulda live uptown or di inner cityWe need a world full peace and serenitySting come sing out fi everybodyThe time has come, as Shaggy saidTo talk of many thingsOf ships and shoes and sealing waxOf cabbages and kingsThe planets turn in retrogradeThe moon seems to have fledThe world is spinning upside downAnd landed on its headJust one lifetimeAnd there's only one, yes there's only oneJust one life to liveAssuming that we'll make itWe've no choice but to take itI'm with you, the Walrus saidWe'll dress for heavy weatherWhatever's on the road aheadWe're in this now togetherWe thought we'd make a run for itNot knowing where we're headedWe packed the car with both our bagsAnd filled her up unleadedJust one lifetimeAnd there's only one, yes there's only oneJust one life to liveAssuming that we'll make itWe've no choice but to take itCome make we take a page out a di book of lifeLeggo negativity and do what's rightWe no longer need fi a fuss or fightUnite the world and show dem di rightDis generation a set a new trendReplace di word enemy wid friendLeaders a di world these rules can't bendDis a di message we a send to demThe time had come, a reckoningWe all knew it was comingWe headed North on empty roadsThe engine gently hummingThe Walrus smoked a cigaretteHe claimed it was his lastNo signs of life, no gas, no foodIn all the empty towns we passedAll we have is me and youIt has to be enoughI've got your back and you've got mineIf the going it gets roughJust one lifetimeAnd there's only one, yes there's only oneJust one life to liveAssuming that we'll make itWe've no choice but to take itThe time has come, the Walrus saidTo talk of many thingsOf ships and shoes and sealing waxOf cabbages and kings
