THE MOMENT & THE NIGHT.   

He was born with his eyes open
over time they learned to close
there was a sadness to the story
in the life he chose,

Are we all bound and determined
to end up just the same
despite our efforts we all move
as one piece in the game

CHORUS:
For every heart that has been broken
every tear that soared in flight
the only thing they ever had
was the moment and the night.


When he looked into the mirror
it was like a picture show
staring from the other side
someone he didn't know,
as each step brings us closer
yet no closer to the truth
we slowly learn to leave behind
what we loved most in youth

CHORUS:
For every heart that has been broken
every tear that soared in flight
the only thing they ever had
was the moment and the night.


When the years replayed before him
like a film he'd never seen
there was an actor in a setting
such an unfamiliar scene,
do we really know each other
have we really come that far
or are we just adrift somewhere
out there in the stars.


CHORUS:
For every heart that has been broken
every tear that soared in flight
the only thing they ever had
was the moment and the night,
the only thing they ever had
was the moment and the night.
