The One Moment

You're right.
There's nothing more lovely, there's nothing more profound
Than the certainty that all of this will end.
So 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
At the overgrowth that's 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

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 stay here with me and build till we've blistered our hands?
So won't you stay here with me, and build us some temples,
Build us some castles, build us some monuments,
And burn them all right down.

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
