In A Moment

A prayer without an answer
A dream that's out of reach
A school full of students
That are all too ready to teach

This is every moment
This is the daily life
One girl could hold her daddy's hand
While another holds a knife

Each moment that passes
Something new ends and begins
One teenager stops using drugs
While another's just picking up the syringe

One young man has fallen in love
While another is heart broken
One old woman goes into a deep sleep
While a new baby girl has awoken

Most people don't realize
That each moment is unique
Everything should be remembered
Something special to keep

Remember how every little thing
Can effect something even more extreme
Like an unanswered prayer
Or an out-of-reach dream
