One Shot

God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I am starting to be brand new
C'mon

Rome is burning, you can taste the embers
Well, I am walking hard on Spanish stairs
For my saint, this silence rapping on the door
Grown up, defiant, I want so much more

So me brand new, say (starting over)
Me brand new, say (starting over)
Me brand new, say, I say

You give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger

I walk with millions, a delicate few
So sad how loneliness might follow you
Through New York city streets and all her avenues
Louie cut the concretes, you rush through

So me brand new, say (starting over)
Me brand new, say (starting over)
Me brand new, say I say

You give me one shot at my life today
You give me one shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger

I don't want to be just a passerby
Stand in the line all around the world
I don't want to be a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight

Mm, I got this feeling, hidden down in my bones, yeah
Let me get this feeling and it's burning up my soul
I got to get it, just one shot, my baby, one more day
Got to give me one shot baby
I got a feeling, won't you give me one day?
Oh, no, no

You give me one shot at my life today
You give me one shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
One shot, life today
Give me one shot, life today
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be a stranger
I will never be a stranger

I don't wanna be a passerby
Standing on one's lines around the world
And I will never be a parasite
Holding on tight, holding on tight
Holding on

We gon' do a song right now, that um
We hold very close to us, right now
And um, it's a quiet one, so
Enjoy one another for the next song and tune
