lyrics

Came the moment,
Like a wave that's crossed an ocean,
Like a sunrise on a mountain,
Like a rainstorm in a garden.
Came the moment, and then came you.

I saw it coming,
Like a rider seen from far away,
like a pilgrim from a foreign land,
like a sunbeam in the shadows.
I saw it coming, When I saw you.

And one thing I had learned was
If you part is in a ballet of disaster.
Well I thought I had to be, I had to be
The worlds greatest dancer.
But you taught me other things like,
Everybody here is born to shine, shine, shine

Came the moment,
When you opened up my world for me,
Brought a new horizon,
Brought me something better.
Came the moment, and then came you.

I saw it coming,
But I couldn't back away from it,
Well I couldn't run and I couldn't hide,
I couldn't deny it anymore.
I saw it coming, when I saw you.

And one thing I have learned is leant is
Like the trees in the middle of a forest.
I have been here a long, long, long, long time.
But even though I’m still passing through,
I am like a zephyr, or a feather,
I am floating on the breath of something.
And you have taught me
Everybody here is born to shine, shine, shine
