Intro i

:I

Verse

 This morning I put on my shirt but I didn't fit in

 My clothes, like the world, seemed to shrink, made it hard to breathe in

 No matter if you're a V.I.P. or you're left on the shelf

 Today, all you need for real and all that you need to feel is yourself

Verse

Today I will work very hard on not working today

This fine springtime wind will blow all expectations away

Without any doubt you're upright you just have to be true

And all what you have to be your basic necessity is you

Bridge

 Goodbye to the postman, to my friends at the bank

 Cross-eyed neighbours farewell and good luck

 I'm leaving today finally I'm on my way

 Nothing else counts and I don't give a [yeeaaaah]

Chorus

Oh once in a lifetime we're together

Oh once in a lifetime is today

Oh once no storm or dirty weather

Oh will stop me once I am on my way

Verse

We sailed on the clouds dashed between the stars as if we were blind

Once in a lifetime we'll leave all the jetsam behind

It's high time to come down again and to set yourself free

Just use your ability your utmost humility and see

Bridge

Goodbye to the postman, to my friends at the bank

Cross-eyed neighbours farewell and good luck

I'm leaving today finally I'm on my way

Nothing else counts and I don´t give a [yeeaaaah]

Chorus

Oh once in a lifetime we're together

Oh once in a lifetime is today

Oh once no storm or dirty weather

Oh will stop me once I am on my way

Bridge

So what's all the noise for I just need a voice

And some singing for you just a bit

I just need a little guitar and a fiddle

Nothing else counts and I don't give a shit

Chorus

/*first two lines without instruments*/

Oh once in a lifetime we're together

Oh once in a lifetime is today

Oh once no storm or dirty weather

Oh will stop me once I am on my way

....me once I am on my way
