One brief shining moment

Your suspicious nature
Keeps you on your guard
And you learn to trust it
In a world so hard
But one day you'll erase it
And my heart will replace it

One shining moment
One brief shining moment
That's your life
Hold it
Close to mine
Hold it
One brief shining moment

With a million problems
Beating down your door
Is it any wonder
That you scream "no more"!
But your heart holds one purpose
Let it rise to the surface

One shining moment
One brief shining moment
That's your life
Hold it
Close to mine
Hold it
One brief shining moment

But your heart holds one purpose
Let it rise to the surface

One shining moment
One brief shining moment
That's your
That's your life
One shining moment
One brief shining moment

One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment
One shining moment
One brief shining moment

Interpretation

You keep up your guard in this difficult world, but one day you will let that guard down, when you let me in.  I understand why, but you need to love and be loved.
