One Shot

God, give me one shot and I'll break right through I am starting to be brand new C'mon Rome is burning, you can taste the embers Well, I am walking hard on Spanish stairs For my saint, this silence rapping on the door Grown up, defiant, I want so much more So me brand new, say (starting over) Me brand new, say (starting over) Me brand new, say, I say You give me one shot at my life today One shot at my life today I don't want to be a stranger I walk with millions, a delicate few So sad how loneliness might follow you Through New York city streets and all her avenues Louie cut the concretes, you rush through So me brand new, say (starting over) Me brand new, say (starting over) Me brand new, say I say You give me one shot at my life today You give me one shot at my life today I don't want to be a stranger I don't want to be just a passerby Stand in the line all around the world I don't want to be a parasite Holding on tight Holding on tight Mm, I got this feeling, hidden down in my bones, yeah Let me get this feeling and it's burning up my soul I got to get it, just one shot, my baby, one more day Got to give me one shot baby I got a feeling, won't you give me one day? Oh, no, no You give me one shot at my life today You give me one shot at my life today I don't want to be a stranger One shot, life today Give me one shot, life today I don't want to be a stranger I don't want to be a stranger I don't want to be a stranger I will never be a stranger I don't wanna be a passerby Standing on one's lines around the world And I will never be a parasite Holding on tight, holding on tight Holding on We gon' do a song right now, that um We hold very close to us, right now And um, it's a quiet one, so Enjoy one another for the next song and tune
