Moment to Moment - Children 18:3

I know a story, and if you lend me an ear and a halfway open mind

You may discover something about yourself

«I see you’re distracted,»

said the carnival master and pointed down to the broom I should have been

pushing

And he gently took me aside, and said:

Every task before you is a challenge to succeed

Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment

Like every breathe is a step to forever

Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment boy

If you don’t give up, give up, you don’t give it up

I remember in passing

But the fool that I was couldn’t see for the next ten years

Until I discovered, like waking up from a dream

Instead of a master, or the flying trapeze

I was down here pushing a broom and watching the actors

And I heard again his words

Every choice before you is a challenge to succeed

Oh, oh, oh moment to moment

And every breathe is a step to forever

Oh, oh, oh moment to moment boy

If you don’t give up, give up, you don’t give it up

And it’s too late, is it too late to remedy?

Will you teach me?

Will you teach me?
