Once in Time

A road that goes and doesn't come back
a train that travels a one-way track
life seems long and hard sometimes
but then, a new day breaks
and all seems fine,
for we travel this way but once in time.

Now and again we need our friends
some folks to lean on when times are tough
people who are made of real strong stuff,
those to guide us and point the way
when we get lost and don't know what to say
friends who will follow after us
to show us that all can be fine
for we pass this way just once in time.

It takes a village to raise a child
cause life's not always acting so mild,
things are dealt us along the way
that makes this life seem not so gay,
but there's no need to get distressed
for there is a way to deal with this mess.
All we need is to try and be kind
for all of us pass this way but once in time.

God has given us strength for the day
and we all know that He has the final say.
Life is fickle we are told
and we should face our problems and try to be bold,
just strive, and seek, and hope to find,
for all of us pass this way but once in time.
