-------------------------
Verse 1
-------------------------
When I was younger
My Mom would say with a smile
Life will give you a needed break
Every Once in awhile
Stay optimistic
No matter what the trial
You'll get your needed rest
Every Once in awhile

I would like to take my
Once in awhile
Right now

Now that I'm older
She says style
You will find your relief
Every Once in awhile
-------------------------
Chorus

I would like to take my
Once in awhile

Life can be so unforgiving
Once in awhile
It is a struggle just to keep living
Once in awhile
I need to be on a
Vacation far away
From the choices voices
Of the people who want me to stay
-------------------------
Verse 3
-------------------------
Before I became a man
My Dad would say with a smile
Work hard and you'll get your due
Every Once in awhile
Nose to the grindstone
Walk that extra mile
And you will get your reward
Every Once in awhile
-------------------------
Chorus

I would like to take my
Once in awhile
Right now

Life can deliver a bit short
Once in awhile
Challenges without much support
Once in awhile
I need to be on a
Vacation far away
From the choices voices
Of the people who need me to stay
