The time has come, the warlock said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
Half of the greatest gift given to humanity
Surround yourself with a lot of positive energy
You can't buy it even if you have a whole heap of money
And that's why we spread love inna the community
You could a-be a small man or a celebrity
You could a-live uptown or the inner city
We need a world full of peace and serenity
Sting, come sing out to everybody
The time has come, Shaggy said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
The planets stood in retrograde
The moon seems to have fled
The world is spinning upside down
And landed on its head
Just one lifetime
And there's only one (And there is only one)
Yes, there's only one (And there is only one)
Just one life to live (One life to live, yeah)
Assuming that we'll make it
We've no choice but to take it (Come on)
I'm with you, the warlock said
We're dressed for heavy weather
Whatever's on the road ahead
We're in this now together
We thought we'd make a run for it
Not knowing where we're headed
We packed the car with both our bags
And filled her up on lead, yeah
Just one lifetime (One lifetime)
And there's only one (And there is only one)
Yes, there's only one (And there is only one)
Just one life to live (One life to live, yeah)
Assuming that we'll make it
We've no choice but to take it
I'll make you take a page out of the book of life
Take a negativity and do what's right
We no longer need to fuss or fight
Unite the world and show them what's right
This generation has set a new trend
Replace the word "enemy" with "friend"
Leaders of the world, these rules can't bend
This are the message we are sent to them
The time had come, a reckoning
We all knew it was coming
We headed north on empty roads
The engine gently humming
The warlock smoked a cigarette
He claimed it was his last
No signs of life, no gas, no food
In all the empty towns we passed
For all we have is me and you
It has to be enough
I've got your back and you've got mine
If the going, it gets rough
Just one lifetime (One life to live, love)
And there's only one (And there is only one)
Yes, there's only one (And there is only one)
Just one life to live (One, one, one, one life to live, yeah)
Assuming that we'll make it
We've no choice but to take it
The time has come, the warlock said
To talk of many things
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
