Mother, can you hear me?
For the first time, I see
Born into eyes not by my own decision
Take me away from a life with no vision
Step down from the subway
Climb the staircase to the street
Spinning in circles and holding on tight
To this moment forever if only tonight

And I wanna be in this moment
No one can take it from me
And I wanna stay in this moment
No one can take it away from me

Driving through the city for the first time you and me
Staring through windows at my own reflection
How can a window encompass perfection
Now that I know what it's like to be living
This beautiful world will never stop giving
I can't return to a life with no vision
Born into eyes not by my own decision

And I wanna be in this moment
No one can take it from me
And I wanna stay in this moment
No one can take it away from me

Watching the world through the eyes of a child
Sitting alone in my room
Wishing that someone would take me away someday
Give me a chance and I'll show you what's real
Open your eyes and you'll see
That I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me

And I wanna be in this moment
No one can take it from me
And I wanna stay in this moment
No one can take it away from me
