lyrics

I was a moment away from when they'd say I was gone
A decade would pass, I was so young, you were so strong
And the silence was filled with prayers and hopes of a sign
I was a moment away from the end of my life.

And time slows
I remember the catch I took
And the car sped
When an hour is all you have
And your breath starts to slow
But you're calm and you never give in.

A life time has passed, 20 years I tend to forget
But the memory is clear of that day, a life that was kept
I'm writing it down, I am blessed I made it so far
I was a moment away when an angel carried that car.

And time slows
I remember the catch I took
And the car sped
When an hour is all you have
And your breath starts to slow
But you're calm and you never give in.

And your breath starts to slow
And the dark starts to win
And they call out the odds
But you'll never give in.

I was a moment away from when they'd say I was gone.
