This is the Moment
Linda Eder & Colm Wilkinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
