Moment

seated among the defeated

feeling cheated and beaten by life

burst your bubble somewhere in the struggle

now life's too much trouble

just time 'til you die

thrown in the towel on living

just to settle for wondering why

oh so patient with your situation

you sit in the station while others roll by

while you were waiting for this moment not to happen

while you were praying that this day would never come

while you were waiting for this moment not to happen

here comes that moment

now it's over, now it's gone

silent, each moment's arriving

and sudden, tomorrow's goodbye

each moment we're meeting

these fragments so fleeting

advancing, retreating

their way through our lives

hope and dreams are what we're made of

and those dreams should never die

it was given, this reason for living

each moment the present no future can buy
