We only get one chance at this
And there's about a thousand ways that it can all go wrong
It seems random but I promise that the plan exist
Its just hard to recognize until its almost gone
And then its gone and you're never getting anymore
And all thats left is guessing what you'll be remembered for
What that you can rest for sure
We put our best foot forward from the second that they press record
And I never said that we don't cope with demons
Cause if you've never question your belief, you don't believe them
If this wasn't how its supposed to go while all the feelings
But a wisely chosen spoken word is potent healing
We hit the stage and behave in accordance
Cause the labour of love won't always pay for our mortgage
Everybody wants to make a name and a fortune
What a shame fame ain't the same as importance
And this is not encouragment
Because the only thing certain is work in the dirt and quit
You need to learn this
It might never be perfect, but it hurts worse to quit
If everybody wins, then everybody loses
No one leaves the field without getting bloody bruises
You play through the storm if the uniform fits
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
This is not a fair fight where the odds can be even
There will always be a reason as long as we keep breathing
It never hurts worse than the very first hit
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
Every now and then
Think of two thousand and ten
January twelve, when the earth cried for help
Tectonic plate shifted, sevent point o
The earthquake from Elo
Haiti was ground zero
Three hundreds and sixteen thousand dead people
This sort of events commence in fort the prince
Here you have a country the size of Netherland
That somehow slipped through the wings of a seraphin
If New Orleans missfortune get all attentions of Americains
Third world problems pale in comparison
Abject poverty right and food crisis
A natural disaster that terminate leaf of likeness
As poor black bodies were being removed from rubble
I was distracted, me and my girl were having trouble
There's a fine line between fairness and justice
The precarious amongst us for the barriers to confort
But the carrier that was once hurt, brandishing scars
Part of being an adult is managing what's hard
The broken glass shards from windows of opportunity
Usually, humble our success with credulity
And thruthfully, if you have never been sacked
You wouldn't know how to act, running the victory lap
And so with dignity and tact I freed myself of the tarmac
Brush off my jers against ball cap
Cause whole that remains is the, try and gain and let loose
Cause in the face of that earthquake, whats my excuse
If everybody wins, then everybody loses
No one leaves the field without getting bloody bruises
You play through the storm if the uniform fits
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
This is not a fair fight where the odds can be even
There will always be a reason as long as we keep breathing
It never hurts worse than the very first hit
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
This light afflictions whatch only for a moment
Are working for an eternity, so own it
The chief key component, to picking yourself up the lennel iyum
If you don't like, never stand a foot on the winners podium
We lost more than we want
It cost more than we make
We walk more than we run
We fought more than we played
We searched more than we seek
We work more than we sleep
We earn more than we keep
We learn more than we speak
We turn the other cheek cause the earth is for the meeks
And with each word of our speech we are furthering our reach
We hurl took a ticks and we think its for the best
Because we earn those tweeks and we agree more less
An ordered mess, yes, the calm and the chaos
And the longer we wait, the stronger the payout
This song is a séance and we sing it together
But one who die trying live forever
If everybody wins, then everybody loses
No one leaves the field without getting bloody bruises
You play through the storm if the uniform fits
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
This is not a fair fight where the odds can be even
There will always be a reason as long as we keep breathing
It never hurts worse than the very first hit
There's a time to call it quits, this is no it
