America – Moment To Moment

Written by Gerry Beckley and Phil Galdston, ©1998

Found on Human Nature.

There was a time I knew

All that there was to know

No one could tell me then

I was wrong

I wasn’t strong enough

To see where my weakness lay

The world that you hold so tight

Could slip away

And from moment to moment

Your life can change

There’s a storm over the horizon

A sea no one can see

Somewhere around the bend

Right when you least expect

Someone can walk away

With no regret

Leaving an empty space

Breaking a sacred trust

All of your shiny dreams

Begin to rust

Yes from moment to moment your life can change

There’s a storm over the horizon

The sea you cannot see

Yes from moment to moment

Promise me you’ll never change

Promise me you’ll stay the same

Promise me you’ll never change

Yes from moment to moment your life can change

There’s a storm over the horizon

A sea you’ll never see

Yes from moment to moment your life can change

There’s a light when the sun is rising

A day after today

Promise me you’ll never change (promise me you’ll never change)

Promise me you’ll stay the same (the same)

Promise me you’ll never change

Every moment is a shining light

Every moment is the darkest night

Every moment gotta get it right

Every single moment

Every moment is a shining light

Every moment is the darkest night

Every moment gotta get it right

Every moment is a shining light

Every moment is the darkest night

Every moment gotta get it right

Every single moment

Every moment is a shining light

Every moment is the darkest night

Every moment gotta get it right

Every single moment
