Momentum

There comes a point in everyone's life
when every step forward closes a door for all time
There comes a time when everyone finds
that what's left before them is less than what they've left behind

You can hear the momentum of life in every day
when somebody's coming or somebody's moving away
You can't escape living by crying or trying to run
the momentum of life will carry you through til you're done

1/2 CHORUS
The momentum of life is carried along
it's in the poem it's in the song
the current it quick as the day is long
and before you know it we'll all be gone

Looking around we see what we've done
where we were going and how far we strayed where we've come
and lucky or not the living move on
swept by the current of life as it's moving along

You can hear the momentum of life in every breath
when living is learning and learning is living your best
You can't change a thing that you've done or a word that you've said
at the end of the day when you play it all back in your head.

CHORUS
The momentum of life is carried along
it's in the poem it's in the song
the current it quick as the day is long
and before you know it we'll all be gone
So keep your head up and never let go
and where you are going you may never know
but when you arrive you'll look back and see
the momentum of life was setting you free

Life is a cross-stitch we see from the back
we all have a purpose it's hard to see what where we're at
The hands of time have turned into fists
the premise is old but it seems that there's always new twists

You can hear the momentum of life in all that we do
it's pulling us forward and teaching us how to be true
Don't worry bout living and life will be given to you
and when you're not looking you'll learn what you already knew.

CHORUS
