New love, new life
Straight face, hoping everything’s fine
We’ve got no frills, late bills,
Rent payments, we’re walking uphill

But we’re in tune, in time
You’re due at the end of July
So we’ll work hard, take heart

In a life…
Once in a lifetime…

Changed house, changed job,
Now we’re three, and still bumping along
Now I’m downsized, wound tight

In a life…
Once in a lifetime…

In a life…
Once in a lifetime…

I’ll make it better tomorrow
We’re gonna make it tomorrow

Months pass, too fast
Back to college and classified ads
And then I’m hired, suit and tied,

In a life…
Once in a lifetime…

In a life…
Once in a lifetime…

We’re gonna rise, cuz I’m going to climb
Up this ladder no matter the price

In a life…
Once in a life…
Once in a lifetime…
