Moment
Aryn Michelle 2012
Have you ever spent a summer wishing someone
else would step up, take your place and translate you
to another place and time, a better kind of life away, far away
Have you ever spent an evening dreaming ‘bout all your
plans, make amends and begin once again
you wish within your heart, tomorrow’d bring a better start, a better day
but that’s not good enough; that’s not good enough
take this moment into focus, it’s the only way you’ll find peace tonight
feel the power in this hour, don’t waste away and don’t wish away your life
In a world of excuses and to-do lists IOUs are the tokens of fools and the clueless
who cannot wait to find another endless line to complain in, they say
give me a game or a screen or a TV frame in my face to displace and escape all these
passions left behind, I haven’t got the time to entertain them
but that’s not good enough; that’s not good enough
we gotta slow it down, the only moment we have
take this moment into focus, it’s the only way you’ll find peace tonight
feel the power in this hour, don’t waste away and don’t wish away your life
take this moment into focus, it’s the only way you’ll find peace tonight
feel the power in this hour, don’t waste away and don’t wish away your life
if it’s not good enough; if it’s not good enough
you gotta slow it down, the only moment you have
the only moment you have, the only moment you have
