The One Moment

You're right

There's nothing more lovely

There's nothing more profound

Than the certainty

Than the certainty

That all of this will end

That all of this will end

So open your arms to me

Open your arms to me

And this will be

The one moment that matters

And this will be

The one thing we remember

And this will be

The reason to have been here

And this will be

The one moment that matters at all

So while the mud

Reclaims our footprints

And while our bones keep looking back

The overgrowth is swallowing the path

There for the grace of God, go we

There for the grace of God, go we

There for the grace of time and chance

And entropy's cruel hands

So open your arms to me

Open your arms to me

And this will be

The one moment that matters

And this will be

The one thing we remember

And this will be

The reason to have been here

And this will be

The one moment that matters at all

So won't you stay here with me

And we'll build until we've blistered our hands

So won't you stay here with me

We'll build us some temples

We'll build us some castles

We'll build us some monuments

And burn them all right down

So open your arms to me

Open your arms to me

And this will be

The one moment that matters

And this will be

The one thing we remember

And this will be

The reason to have been here

And this will be

The one moment that matters at all

So won't you stay here with me

And we'll build until we've blistered our hands

This will be

The one thing we remember

(So won't you stay here with me)

(And we'll build us some temples)

(Build us some castles)

This will be

(Build us some monuments)

This will be

(We'll build us some temples)

The one moment that matters

(Build us some castles)

And this will be

(Build us some monuments)

The one moment that matters at all
