One Minute In A Lifetime

I saw the light

It lit up the sky

I closed my eyes

But it still glowed inside

And when I looked again

The day was just as dark as the night

And like a man who's gone blind

At first I was scared

I reached out for balance

I fell from side to side

Every man has tasted fear

One minute in a lifetime

Now I know what happened

Heaven and Earth combined

And I touched pure paradise

One minute in a lifetime, my lifetime

And when we met tonight

I knew it was your place and your time

I knew you'd seen the light

Because you have all the signs

At first you're a drawn to the light

Like moths to a fire

Though you get burned

You still know that you'll stay

I'm sure you wonder why

Such happiness can force you to cry

You feel so low yet so high

But don't be afraid

Try to keep your balance

And I'll be by your side

We all knock at heaven's door

One minute in a lifetime

This was meant to happen

Don't even try to fight

Everyone sees paradise

One minute in a lifetime

Now you know what's happened

You saw two worlds collide

And you found paradise

One minute in a lifetime, your lifetime
