about

A riff in DADGAD tuning started this one off. Then Karina Morin and I jammed through most of the words in one writing session as I recall.

lyrics

Have you ever felt the cold wind blowing
Have you ever felt the rain on your skin
Have you ever felt anything at all
I hear you’re coming around again
I don’t buy your pretty talk and your designer shoes
You're reading all them magazines just to tell you what to do
You better stop and think about your time on this earth
We only get one shot
I don’t see no sign of life

You change your mind like you change your socks
You change it all the time
When are you gonna find something to believe in
When will you draw that line
Don't we have to answer for what we leave behind
I ask myself these questions and search the corners of my mind
You better stop and think about your time on this earth
‘Cause we only get one shot
We gotta protect this precious life

Fighting over oil, fighting over land
Fighting over the air that we breath
Help me understand
When we gonna change
When we gonna see the light
Too many dying needlessly, something just ain’t right
We better stop and think about our time on this earth
We only get one shot
Gotta respect this precious life
You better stop and think about your time on this earth
You only get one shot
Got to protect this precious life
