One Moment In Time
Whitney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free

I will be
I will be free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Whitney Houston's song "One Moment in Time" express a desire to be the best and achieve greatness. It acknowledges the challenges and sacrifices that come with pursuing one's dreams, yet the ultimate goal is to have that one moment where everything falls into place and all the hard work and efforts pay off. The singer wants to feel a sense of eternity in that moment and to be free from any limitations or expectations.

The line "I'm only one, but not alone" suggests that even though she may be on her own, she is not the only one striving for greatness. The idea of being a winner for a lifetime if you seize that one moment in time implies that success is not just about the destination but also about the journey to get there. By giving the best of oneself in every day, the opportunity to achieve greatness will present itself.

Overall, "One Moment in Time" is an inspirational song that encourages listeners to pursue their dreams relentlessly and to cherish that one moment when everything falls into place. It reminds us that success is not just about the outcome but the journey towards it.

Each day I live
Every day that I am alive

I want to be
I aspire to become

A day to give
A day where I can give my all

The best of me
My absolute best self

I'm only one
I am just one person

But not alone
But I have the support of others

My finest day
My best day ever

Is yet unknown
Has not happened yet and is uncertain

I broke my heart
I put in a lot of effort

Fought every gain
Overcame every obstacle

To taste the sweet
To experience the rewards of success

I face the pain
I dealt with the hardships

I rise and fall
I experienced ups and downs

Yet through it all
Despite everything that happened

This much remains
There is still hope

I want one moment in time
I desire a specific moment

When I'm more than I thought I could be
When I surpass my own expectations

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
When my aspirations are within reach

And the answers are all up to me
When I am the only one responsible for my success

Give me one moment in time
Grant me this specific moment

When I'm racing with destiny
When I am competing with fate

Then in that one moment of time
During that specific moment

I will feel
I will experience

I will feel eternity
I will feel as though that moment will last forever

I've lived to be
I have lived my life in order to be

The very best
The absolute top

No time for less
I cannot accept anything less

I've laid the plans
I have made the necessary preparations

Now lay the chance
Now give me the opportunity

Here in my hands
Within my own control

You're a winner for a lifetime
You are a lifetime winner

If you seize that one moment in time
If you grab hold of that specific moment

Make it shine
Make it spectacular

I will be free
I will experience liberation/deliverance

I haven't listened to this song in a while. It just popped into my head, and I decided to look it up. Throughout the song, the lyrics and performance were so moving, and I started to tear up. In the end, I was in tears. Such a moving and powerful performance. Whitney was a legend.

May she continue to RIP.

OMG, me, too!

Woke up this morning and the universe spoke to me. It said, the universe rewards those who are brave. And then later in the morning I was inspired to look up this song and listen again. It always got me emotional whenever I listened in the past, but it really struck me this time because I'm competing for the very first time in my life... at the age of 50.

And then the first tones sound, and tears well up in my eyes.
But I'm not ashamed of it.

Give me one moment in time”

As someone who had the honor the work with many of these talented US athletes in Seoul, this song is not only a beautiful tribute to the United States but the courage, strength, determination, and pride these athletes take to the track, the fields, the mats, the baseball diamonds, etc., when they go into the first rounds of competition for that medal for themselves and the United States. Whitney's flame was extinguished much too soon, but through her incredible, breathtaking voice, she lives with all of us and into the next generations forever. She will never be forgotten. The Olympics. The National Anthem at the Super Bowl in Tampa. She left behind a musical legacy for us all to treasure, some of us blessed enough to see. Now she soars like she sang. An angel.
