Tonight On The Mike Malloy Show

One More Time to Live

Remember the lyrics to this song by John Lodge of The Moody Blues? It wasn’t so long ago the words seemed so terribly important. So . . . what happened?

“One More Time To Live”

Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes

And he who wants to fight begins the end of time…
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Desolation

Evolution . . .
Pollution . . .
Saturation . . .
Population
Annihilation
Revolution
Tell me someone, why this talk of revolution?
Confusion . . .
Illusion . . .
Conclusion . . .
Starvation
Degradation
Humiliation
Contemplation . . .
Inspiration

Salvation . . .
Communication . . .
Compassion

Solution

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sign a sigh

One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime
How one thought I’ll live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
