long hard lesson learned

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

Oh, oh, oh,
Life is a precious thing
Donâ??t waste it all worrying

Time thatâ??s lost
Canâ??t be returned
Itâ??s another long hared lesson learned

Teach your children not to hate
Hope they learn before itâ??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 futureâ??s in our hands

Once itâ??s lost, it canâ??t be returned
Itâ??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, youâ??re bound to get burned
Another long hard lesson learned
(Repeat)
