Lyrics
[Verse]
We build our boxes out of fear and doubt
We lock the doors and throw the key right out
Counting the shadows on the bedroom wall
Waiting for the quiet hammer to fall
But look at the hourglass, look at the sand
Slipping away from the palm of your hand
You’ve got one ticket to this dusty play
Why would you throw the only show away?
[Chorus]
We only live once!
Why are you hiding in the dark?
We only live once!
Before the fire loses its spark!
Run like a soldier, beat the ticking clock
Break every chain and shatter every lock
Cuz soon enough, the drums will start to play
And time will catch us anyway!
[Verse 2]
The trumpet is calling, the snare starts to roll
Anxiety’s grip is losing control
No room for the worries that poison your mind
Leave all the ghosts of yesterday behind
The marching line is moving down the street
Fierce and alive to a thunderous beat
We step from the cage and we step to the light
We’re taking the stage and we’re winning the fight!
[Chorus]
We only live once!
Why are you hiding in the dark?
We only live once!
Before the fire loses its spark!
Run like a soldier, beat the ticking clock
Break every chain and shatter every lock
Cuz soon enough, the drums will start to play
And time will catch us anyway!
[Outro]
So beat the drum!
And march ahead!
Before the clock strikes midnight!
[End]
