08 In The Moment

I feel the wind that's blowing
Through the wheat fields all around
And the winter sun is setting
In the auburn sky
As the dust and all the birds are flying by

I think I'll take a picture
And I'll hang it on the wall
So I'll recall this moment
But a photograph
Cannot see between the future and the past

Will you take a moment
To come join me here?
We'll run together
Where skies are clear

And we'll cross a river
And we'll climb up on that hill
'Cause it's in the moment
Where we'll learn to love each other still

Coming from the city
Where the stop lights light the show
I'd go to watch a movie
It's a hologram
Of a life I love and who I truly am

I need to keep it simple
I need to slow it down
'Cause life's not complicated
It's so easy now
If your life's a student, love will teach you how

Will you take a moment
To come join me here?
We'll run together
Where skies are clear

And we'll cross a river
And we'll climb up on that hill
'Cause it's in the moment
Where we'll learn to love each other still
We'll learn to love each other still
We'll learn to love each other still
We'll learn to love each other still
