One More Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you
No one enters
This secret place
The barrier only I embrace
Time is fleeting now
They say
Take time to look inside
And face... the change

[Verse 1]
Dig down deep
To find the man I thought I was
A dog on a treadmill panting
The master pulls the leash, laughing
Now I can't remember why
I needed to run, needed to try so hard

[Chorus]
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home again
[Verse 2]
"Work hard in life boy
There's paradise in the end."
Year after year we struggle to gain
The happiness our parents never claimed
They told us all we had to do
Was do what we're told, buy what was sold
"Invest in gold, and never get old."

[Chorus]
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home

[Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo]

[Chorus]
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home
One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
