long hard lesson learned

Jon Anderson

A one way ticket is all we need
No return, no guarantee
Straight ahead and donââ?¬â?¢t look back
This train is on a one way track

Oh, oh, oh,
Life is a precious thing
Donââ?¬â?¢t waste it all worrying

Time thatââ?¬â?¢s lost
Canââ?¬â?¢t be returned
Itââ?¬â?¢s another long hared lesson learned

Teach your children not to hate
Hope they learn before itââ?¬â?¢s too late
To get rid of the bad laws, and keep the good
Save the oceans and the woods

When will we all understand
That the futureââ?¬â?¢s in our hands

Once itââ?¬â?¢s lost, it canââ?¬â?¢t be returned
Itââ?¬â?¢s another long hard lesson learned

I can see the writing on the wall
Open up your eyes and heed the call

When you play with fire, youââ?¬â?¢re bound to get burned
Another long hard lesson learned
