Moments
Link Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're the shimmer on the ocean
In the air
We are the breeze that blows the trees
On the road
We're the moments of slow motion
On the path
We're are the crunchin' of the leaves
In sight
We're far away now
But in heart
We're still so close
Though you can't see me, I'm still awake
There's a reason it feels I was there only yesterday
An invisible reflection
An unbreakable connection
Yes, we live, then we die, it's the circle of life
But we're still with you inside
When we're inside with you
Yes, we live, then we die, it's the circle of life
But we're still with you inside
When it rains
We can see you through the window
On the beach
You imprint us with your feet
When you're warm
We're the cold part of the pillow
And when you're cold
We're the creaking of your knees
In sight (please, just believe we're calling)
We're far away now (please, just believe we're calling)
But in heart (please, just believe we're calling)
We're still so close (please, just believe we're calling)
Though you can't see me, I'm still awake (please, just believe we're calling)
There's a reason it feels I was there only yesterday (please, just believe we're calling)
An invisible reflection
An unbreakable connection
Yes, we live, then we die, it's the circle of life
But we're still with you inside (please, just believe we're calling)
When we're inside with you (please, just believe we're calling)
Yes, we live, then we die, it's the circle of life
But we're still with you inside
Please just believe we're calling
Please just believe we're calling
The lyrics of “Moments” by Link Lewis describe the idea of being present even when one is not physically there. The song is a testament to how connections can outlast physical presence, and how memories and relationships stay with us long after the people who made them are gone. The lines "Though you can't see me, I'm still awake/There's a reason it feels I was there only yesterday" express the sentiment that the connections we form with others do not disappear just because they are not present anymore, and that the memories we hold of them can be just as powerful and meaningful as the moments we shared.
The song's use of imagery creates a sense of relationship as not just a personal connection but also something greater such as the relationship with nature. The lines "In the sun we're the shimmer on the ocean/In the air we are the breeze that blows the trees" show how the lyricist perceives their presence to be something that exists in everything around us. By using this imagery, there is a sense of continuity and timelessness that makes the message more universal and relevant.
The song seems to be a reflection on how the memories of someone can live on forever, and how they can be felt even when they are not physically present. It encourages the listener to trust in the power of memory and connection, and to believe that even when people are gone, they are still somehow with us. Whether it is through nature or an unbreakable connection, the song reminds us that sometimes the most important things in life are the moments we share with those we love.

In the sun
We are the shining reflection on the ocean's surface
We are the breeze that blows the trees
We bring the soft wind that gently moves the leaves
We're the moments of slow motion
We exist in the instances of time that linger as if time has slowed
We're are the crunchin' of the leaves
We create the sound of footsteps crushing dry leaves on the path
In sight
Although we may be physically distant
We're far away now
We seem out of reach physically
But in heart
We are still loved and cherished
We're still so close
Our connection is strong and unbroken
Though you can't see me, I'm still awake
Even though we've passed away, we're still with you in spirit
There's a reason it feels I was there only yesterday
The connection between us is still alive and strong
An invisible reflection
Our presence is not physically visible
An unbreakable connection
The love and bond that we shared cannot be broken
Yes, we live, then we die, it's the circle of life
Our physical life may end, but it's a natural part of the cycle of life
But we're still with you inside
Our memories and love still reside within you
When we're inside with you
Our presence is felt when you are reminded of us
When it rains
When it rains, we're still there with you
You imprint us with your feet
Our presence is imprinted in the sand by your footsteps on the beach
We're the cold part of the pillow
We are the chill you feel when you turn to the cold side of the pillow
And when you're cold
We know when you're feeling cold
We're the creaking of your knees
We create that sound your knees make when you bend down
Please just believe we're calling
Believe that we're still with you, even if you can't physically see us

This is one of the most beautifully crafted songs that I have ever heard and your voice and sincerity are breathtaking. Yesterday I went for an ultrasound at 9 weeks pregnant and received the devastating news that there is no longer a heartbeat. This morning, I force myself into the shower and ask Spotify to play me some random playlist for “Saturday Coffee” to distract me…and this is the first song to play. Needless to say it floored me but also brought me comfort in equal measure. Thank you, this song will forever have a special place in our lives! x
