[Verse 1]
Take life and live it
Take love and give it
Do what's right and you just can’t go wrong

Take your time and share it
Take some heart and bare it
Take a chance before the chance is gone

[Chorus]
Yeah, you only live once
No, it don't come back around
Might as well live it up
It sure beats livin' it down
If you think I’m crazy
I'm proud to be insane
If you keep your eyes on the rainbow
You won't mind the rain

[Verse 2]
Be good and know it
Be true and show it
Take enough and leave too much alone

Be a light and shine it
So the lost can find it
Be a map not just a rollin' stone
[Chorus]
Yeah, you only live once
No, it don't come back around
Might as well live it up
It sure beats livin' it down
If you think I'm crazy
I'm proud to be insane
If you keep your eyes on the rainbow
You won’t mind the rain

[Solo]

[Chorus]
You only live once
No, it don’t come back around
Might as well live it up
It sure beats livin' it down
Hey, if you think I’m crazy
I'm proud to be insane
If you keep your eyes on the rainbow
You won't mind the rain

[Outro]
If you keep your eyes on the rainbow
You won't mind the rain
