This is the moment
This is the day
This is the moment
When I know I'm on my 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 momentous moment
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last

This is the moment
When all I've done
All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming
Becomes one

This is the day
Just see it shine
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine

This is the moment
This is the hour
When I can open up tomorrow
Like a flower

And put my hand to
Everything I planned to
Fulfill my grand design
See all my stars align

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 recall
Moment for moment, this was the moment
The greatest moment of them all
