Just Once - Amel Larrieux

Little boat, are you lost?

Did the sea lead to nowhere?

Are you faded, chipped and cracked?

Need some tender loving care?

Did a storm, break your course?

Blow the wind out of your sails?

Or do you stay close to shore

Cause you fear that you will fail?

Every hour and every minute

Every moment, happens just once

Every human and every being

Every lifetime, happens just once

Little friend, are you blue?

Are you not like them at all?

When you bend, to fit the box

Are you too big or too small?

Do you lie to yourself

To make others comfortable?

Or do you hide who you are

Cause it’s unacceptable?

Every hour and every minute

Every moment, happens just once

Every human and every being

Every lifetime, happens just once

And I don’t know what comes after

But if this life is just a test

Everyone may not pass with flying colors

But everyone deserves some happiness

Every hour and every minute

Every moment, happens just once

Every human and every being

Every lifetime, happens just once
