I said one life, one love, many gods up above
Em                    F          Am
Spirits within sing a message of love
                                      C
To the ones who are hurting know this ain’t the end
                     Em          Am
Well the sun it goes down but it comes back again
                                 G
I wanna know, where is the place that you go?
          Em                        F           Am
When your heart is hurting and your head is hung low
                                   Em
Music, sweet music, she takes you away
                        Am
Fills you with hope and nurtures your pain
                 C
Yes, this is the healing
                              F           Em
This is the reason we singing these songs
       Am                  C                      Dm     Am
So the fullness of joy can be felt when everybody sings along
                                           G
So open up the time has come and we’ve got to be on our way
      Em                           F               Em
We’re leaving everything we knew behind with yesterday
    Am                             C
And manifesting dreams that turn into reality
Em                 Am

               Em       F
Then I’m gonna use mine
   Am

   G                      Em                             F         Dm
Speaking of new breeds of men who understand that we must fight to see
Am
Destruction of the darker way
        C
Here to chase the fear away
   Em                      Am
We must secure a place for all
           Am
We’ll be a light in the dark
Am                  A           Em
 Blood in the heart, gun at the start
                    Dm
And the sea it will part
    Am                    E
For glorious new dawn, of children carry on
    Em                                Am
The teachings and the mothers and the fathers, move along

[Bridge]
        Am          G
Said we move, move, we move along
   Em          F
We move, move, we move along
     Am          C
Said move, move, we move along
    Em              Am
Cuz we only got one life

[Chorus]
            Am
We only got one life
             Em       F
So I’m gonna live mine
          Am                  C
I said I’m making my way, get better everyday
    Em                  Am
Let love determine my direction
               Am
If we only got one life
             Em      F
So I’m gonna use mine
   Am
To help the lost get found
 C                             Em

[Verse 3]
Am
 This wheel spins round and round
G            Em          F
 We all have days upside down
                        Am            C
Today it might be me, tomorrow may be you
               Em                            Am
Take a look at life through the soft eyes of truth
                            G
Oh, I’ve been the one who’s lost
Em                      F
 Yea we all got work to do
        Am                    C
Can you see the angry child inside?
                         Am
Hating what they put him through

I wanna set the record straight
                     Dm
Life is full of tragedy
Dm          Am
 But your reaction is the difference
        C                                 Em
And the difference is the reason that you live in hell or harmony
Am              G
 Call to spirit, can you hear it?
        Em
Can you feel me?
F
 Do not fear it
Am                       C
 Moving with you through every moment’s issue
   Em                      Am
We never are alone in this oneness we call home

[Chorus]
            Am
We only got one life
G             Em       F
 So I'm gonna live mine
           Am                    C
I've got my story to tell to the people out there
    Em           Am
For anybody listening
         Am
Only got one life
G             Em      F
 So I'm gonna use mine
   Am
To help the lost get found
 C                             Em                     Am
Unite them with the sound of a thousand voices singing
