Ola Onabulé - One Life Lyrics

ONE LIFE

They would have liked to stay together
But tortured vestiges of pride
Had conspired to keep them bitter
Till they were locked out from inside

So one fine morning he'll be leaving
His perfect children all behind
Each trusting face gives up believing
And wouldn't need to for a while

One life that's all we have to get it right
Can't live it over again
And that life rushes past somehow
One lifetime fighting hard just to survive
Who treats love like its a game
When life won't stop rushing past somehow

Rushing past the plans we make
Faster than the steps we take
To correct our sad mistakes
One life is not enough for love gone wrong

He's taking solace in new prayers
She's voicing ills hate her heart denies
They called it freedom to disfigure
What they'd been building most their lives

One life just like a leap of faith
Landing on a done deal
And no one seems willing to take the blame
A whole life trying to communicate
Pain is all that feels real
Different tears tho' the cry is the same

One life, and more still ain't enough
One life, when driving love is rough
One life, ain't done even when gone
One life, if you've found the perfect one
