Lyrics[]
We will all strive hard and clean to be honest men
We will all strive to be true
But in the end, our age-old human weaknesses
Will we ever see it through?
Now I climb the hills of heat, we are dreaming
And I never see the light
We are living in this world of open misery
Never give up the fight
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
I hear the schoolgirl cry in the valley
I hear the church bell ring
We are living in this land of opportunity
What does the future bring?
So I climb the hills of heat, we are dreaming
And I never see the light
We are living in this land of pain and misery
Never give up the fight
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Are you ready?
Are you... ready?
Are you ready for the coming of a season?
Are you ready for my tears?
Are you ready for the pain and all the suffering?
These are the golden years
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, ooh
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
