lyrics

The moment is a missed opportunity
Or perhaps a trade
A gift of peace and meaning
Or perhaps a tirade

The moment is cumulative
Or isolated alone
The maker of relationship
The time you look at or away from your phone

The moment is king clown or pauper
A slave to money, desire, or the clock
Time relaxing by a river
Or when you pick up your figurative guitar and rock

The moment is here and gone
All of what life consists
The most forgiving unit of measure
But also the severest test

The moment is trapped in amber
Or set adrift on a stream
As cold and lonely as an iceberg
Or as hot and abrupt as a burst of steam

The moment is as simple as breathing
Or as complex as physics and math
As dirty as a sailor’s vocabulary
Or as nice and clean as a bath

The moment is as cheap as a penny
Or as expensive as a sports car
The time it takes light to travel great distance
Or for a saber tooth tiger to get trapped in tar

The moment is a present to open
Or something to evade
The time it takes to give birth to life
Or finally to fade
