This is the Moment
Jane McDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!

Every endeavor,
I have made - ever
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment
This precious chance
I′ll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!

This is the day
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I′ve lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!

I won′t look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I′ll sit forever
With the gods!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,




The greatest moment
Of them all!
