Lyrics

Time glides by like a river
Flowing gently to the sea
Like a wave, the future washes over me
But as the moon betrays its shadow
And the sunset steals the sky
These are the moments of our lives

Sometimes we don't appreciate
The simple things in life
A smile from a stranger
A handshake, a touch
A warm embrace
Try walking barefoot in the long tall grass
Or laugh so hard it hurts
For these are the moments of our lives

Go count your blessings to see how rich you are
The self pursuit of power is what makes life so hard for everyone

Now take the time to recognise
Success is just a state of mind
The key to finding happiness
Lies not in destination but in journey
So take the time to wonder
At the mountains and the sea
For these are the moments of our lives

These simple pleasures all come easy - you'll see
Enjoy the treasures of our planet - they're plentiful and free!

What you are is what you've been
And what you'll be - is what you do now
Do today what must be done
Who knows - tomorrow may never come
If minds are formed by selfless thoughts
Then joy will follow you like a shadow
As a candle cannot burn without fire
We cannot live without love.

Picture an album of songs about life experiences. This would be the ending tune that would say what it was all about. The melody sounds and feels like a soft soothing overview, a conclusion, with lyrics like a wise voice coming in on a breeze. It teaches that success is not the pursuit of power, but the joy of simple things. This is the kind of song that would work well in a movie about the life of someone, or an ad with nature as a backdrop. It works well, too, just sitting back and looking back on what really mattered to you as you listen.
