Lyrics of This is one of those moments

There are moments you remember all your life
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life
This is one of those moments

I will always remember this chair, that window
The way the light streams in
The clothes i'm wearing, the words i'm hearing
The faces i'm seeing, the feeling i'm feeling
The smell, the sound, will be written on my mind
Will be written in my heart as long as i live

I can travel the past and take what i need
To see me through the years
What my father learned and his father before him
Will be there for my eyes and ears

I can walk through the forests of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves
I can enter rooms where there are rooms within rooms
Wrapped in a shawl that learning weaves

I remember, papa
Everything you taught me
What you gave me, papa
Look at what it's brought me

There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away, no wave can wash away
No wind can blow away, and now they're about to be mine
No tide can turn away, no fire can burn away
No time can wear away

I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books i've longed to hold
I can ask all the questions the whys and the wheres
As the mysteries of life unfold

Like a link in a chain from the past to the future
That joins me with the children yet to be
I can now be a part of the ongoing stream
That has always been a part of me

There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away, no wave can wash away
No wind can blow away, no tide can turn away
No fire can burn away, no time can wear away
And now they're about to be mine

There are moments you remember all your life
There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life
This is one of those moments
