Only One Life Songtext
von Gary Ruschman

Only one life
One life you receive
Only one life
To fill a pail of water

Drink from the well of sisterhood
Share with all the children
Wash in the well of brotherhood
Share with all every pilgrim

Welcome all the refugees
Fleeing from catastrophe
Take them in with open arms
For we are all one family


Looking for a truth divine
Searching for an answer
It takes our living hands and minds
To keep away disaster

A rising tide will lift no boat
If the boat′s in disrepair
Remember each of us must do
Our part to bring each other care

Only one life—
One life you receive
One life
To fill a pail of water

Put up all your vanity
Give up on insanity
Remember all humanity
