The Only Day You Get ft. SLADE Lyrics

Watch it all fall together

To make a greater scene from the lesser

Let the wind take me like a feather

And know wherever the land meets me is where I'm meant to end up

Don't pretend that I know where it leads

I'm sure when I breach the moment though it's whole and complete

When I focus on the locus it unfolds in I see

This is home, there I know inner peace

It keeps company through the day and night

I see it all as a game of theater, me I'm tryna play right

I mean I find my way blind through the fog and debris

Then it all appears clearer to me

Somebody saw the world on fire, said he lost all hope

I just laughed and took off my coat, put my feet up

Pulled out a smoke, and said I needed a light

It's all a joke, pardon me the delight

I don't change the world, I'ma be it

They can take my life but they can't take away how I see it

Whatever will be so be it, I'm here for the ride

If I veer from the wheel then it's fine

Don't fear where I wind up 'cuz sometimes appearances lie

And one's life is a mirror of mind, I'm clearing mine

So I can steer where I feel that I'm guided

Eyes peeled for the miracle I get right here in time

Singing bop bop beedum,

There ain't nothing in life that don't belong

If you want some freedom

Start looking inside, it won't be long

'Fore it starts unreeling

When you let it go by it'll be gone

Don't let it escape

Only day that you get is today

Life's a trip, I don't fumble

Don't grip to control, enjoy the tumble

And let it all go, and watch it all flow

To where I don't know

But there will be the light of a brighter tomorrow though

Fosho that's no joke, you better know

Every moment is a puff of smoke

Watch it slowly unfold and then it blows off

But hold on, and then it's long gone

Better off to let it go

Get out my head when I'm in it

I only get one life, I'm intending to live it

That's why I stay centered in it

And never give traction to inner distraction

I keep my focus in on what's happening

In the moment before me and then I get it

And I'm with it, knowing all that I need I'll find within

Giving up the search in externals

Looking inward I envision 'till the blessing is living

Singing bop bop beedum,

There ain't nothing in life that don't belong

If you want some freedom

Start looking inside, it won't be long

'Fore it starts unreeling

When you let it go by it'll be gone

Don't let it escape

Only day that you get is today
