Value of a Moment v2

intro – solo voice, gentle and reflective] Ooooh… the wind knows… The heart remembers… [verse 1 – lead + chorus echo in call-and-response] [lead:] I walked through the days with my eyes half closed [choir:] (You didn’t see, you didn’t know) [lead:] You laughed beside me like the sun on stone [choir:] (You didn’t see, you didn’t know) [lead:] I thought the time was mine to keep But time, she walks and never sleeps [pre-chorus – full choir in rhythm] Clap your hands for the moment you’re in Dance your step before it’s gone with the wind What you hold is what will fade So sing it loud before it slips away [chorus – all voices with harmony and groove] You never know the value of a moment (Oh no, no!) Until it becomes a memory (We remember!) Hold it now, don’t wait till it’s past The future runs, but now moves fast You never know the value of a moment Until it becomes a memory [instrumental interlude – rhythmic drums and vocal chanting] (Hey! Hey! Hey ya — ohhhh oh!) [verse 2 – lead solo with layered backing hums] You danced in the firelight, warm and bold But I was looking down, thinking of gold Now I’d trade every coin and crown To walk with you once more through town [bridge – spoken + rhythmic claps] [Spoken:] The elders say—look with your soul, not only your eyes. Because the day will pass, and the story will rise. Let your heart take the picture, let your spirit reply. [clap and stomp rhythm break] (Oh remember, oh remember…) [final chorus – full choir, stronger harmony] You never know the value of a moment Until it becomes a memory Sing it loud before it flies Hold your people, lift your eyes You never know the value of a moment Until it becomes a memory [outro – soft solo over gentle drum fade] Aahhh… when it becomes… a memory… [end]
