Once

[方大同 “Once” 歌词]

[Verse 1]
When the time had come
Many times before
Many lives before
Many wives before
When every mother's child
Every father's son
Joined the regiments
Of the generals

[Pre-Chorus]
When the night had gone
And the day had dawned
We realized how great a loss

[Chorus]
Just once
If we only had a single chance
Just once
With a decision that
Would influencе the world
What would we do
If we wеre given just once

[Verse 2]
If the final rule
In a court of law
Could determine life
Or death for all
Or punishment
Of the innocent
And negligence
Of the guilty men

[Pre-Chorus]
Would the world
Be brought to loftiness
Or fall unto its knees

[Chorus]
Just once
If we only had a single chance
Just once
With a decision that
Would influence the world
What would we do
If we were given just once

[Outro]
To make the wisest choice
That we have ever made
To spread a word of love to every race
Just once
What would we do
If we were given
Just once
