Lyrics for There's Only One

We can heed the call We can trip and fall We can read the scrawl On the garden wall Let the ashes fall Upon us all Or not at all It's in us all Can we say it's cool From a heated pool When we give a jewel To a starving fool? And if we can't be cruel Then let us take the tool And change the rule Change the rule When we've all begun To see the world we're on Don't you see there's only one? Then we all begin To see the skin we're in It's just the same There's only one There's only one Do we have the grace To begin the race In another place Face to face? Do we stand the pace Or do we let the case Go to waste? Go to waste? Go to waste? Do you like the taste?
