We Can’t Be Practical Lyrics by Glenmerle

Babel Steeple

2021

[Verse 1]
Hey, wake up, breathe in deep
Stretch your leg, shake your feet
Feel your heart start to beat
Blood's a quick guarantee you're fragile
You've only got one life
So forget all those lies you picked up as a child
Drop the feelings, the pride
That's not how you're designed to function
You've only got one life
[Pre-Chorus]
And at the end of our days
There's one thing we'll never say
"If only I had played it safe"
Come on, let's reach for the stars
Even though our terrestrial arms may never break the atmosphere
[Chorus]
We can't be practical
We gotta reach up for the sky
We can't be practical
Gotta drop the fear, gotta lose the pride
Gotta keep in mind we've only got one life
[Verse 2]
It's not too late to believe
To dig up diamond dreams
Who cares what they might think?
Tell your wildest ideas to someone
We've only got one life
[Pre-Chorus]
And at the end of our days
There's one thing we'll never say
"If only I had played it safe"
Come on, let's reach for the stars
Even though our terrestrial arms may never break the atmosphere
[Chorus]
We can't be practical
We gotta reach up for the sky
We can't be practical
Gotta drop the fear, gotta lose the pride
Gotta keep in mind we've only got one life
[Bridge]
We questions our steps
We worry and stress
But we can't be practical
We're only gonna die
It's just a matter of time
So we can't be practical
Let go of your fear
It's just hogwash
Shut out all the critics
Even when they [?]
We're all gonna die
We've only got one life
We can't be practical
[Chorus]
I can't–
We can't be practical
We gotta reach up for the sky
We can't be practical
Gotta drop the fear, gotta lose the pride
Gotta keep in mind we've only got one life
