Mother, can you hear me for the first time I see

born into eyes not by my own decision

take me away from a life with no vision

step down from the subway, climb the staircase to the street

spinning in circles and holding on tight to this moment forever

if only tonight

-Chorus-

I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me

I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me

Driving through the city for the first time you and me

staring through windows at my own reflection

how can a window encompass perfection

now that I know what it's like to be living

this beautiful world will never stop giving

I can't return to a life with no vision

born into eyes not by my own decision

-Chorus-

Watching the world through the eyes of a child

sitting alone in my room

wishing that someone would take me away someday

give me a chance and I'll show you what's real

open your eyes and you'll see

that I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me

-Chorus-
