moment in the sun

you always search for something

no matter how old you get

there's too much to remember

and too much to forget

you're always waiting for something

but it hasn't happened yet

but still you keep trying

you're worried about the future

you're afraid of the past

you're just looking for something

that you think is going to last

you feel like an actor

that has sorely been miscast

but still you're not denying

          all you need is a moment in the sun

          all you need is a moment in the sun

you think about tomorrow

with a frown upon your face

you'd like to cancel your subscription

to the whole human race

thinking about a history

that cannot be replaced

though that doesn't stop you from trying

so in the morning you'll wake up

cursing that you're you

but you'll do everything

you know you should do

no matter what happens

you'll make it through

of this there's no denying

          all you need is a moment in the sun

          all you need is a moment in the sun
