These Are The Moments - Carrie Newcomer

Nobody’s gonna know years from now

No one gonna care why and how

No story or scandal’s gonna matter

And so what if they do

But I’m going to leaf though the book of my days

And grieve each one I threw away

Hold each moment close and keep it like a photograph

Who loves you now?

Who loved you then?

Who do you love?

I remember your young strong heart

I cried through two green streetlights

I slept with my face to the wall

Night after night after night

Who loves you now?

Who loved you then?

Who do you love?

These are the moments you have to seize

Put down those weights you carry around

These are the truth that will set you free

These are the moments we give ourselves

Who loves you now?

Who loved you then?

Who do you love?

A lot of shining words will come up lies

There’s a lot of wisdom in silence

We put our faith in political systems

Sex or God or Science

Who loves you now?

Who loved you then?

Who do you love?

These are the moments you have to seize

Put down those weights you carry around

These are the truths that will set you free

These are the moments we give ourselves
