Well, it's like a distant sound
It's faint and far away
When you're young and you can't slow down
You never worry, just thinking about today, yeah
Then one day, you hit the ground
So fast you can't believe
That what once was distant now
Is so close it's all you hear and see

In a moment
Life can pass you by
As sure as the sky above
But in a moment
You can come alive
And see that life is beautiful
It's here for you this minute
So live before you die
Make sure that you're listening
Here it comes
Don't let it pass you by
Oh, don't let it pass you by

I was really only half awake
I was happy just getting by
But saw I had to live with my mistakes
I wondered what it meant to be alive
That's when I really had to contemplate
That's when I really had to question my
Motivation for the life I'd made
That's when I finally came to realize, yeah

In a moment
Life can pass you by
As sure as the sky above
And in a moment
You can come alive
And see that life is beautiful
It's here for you this minute
So live before you die
Make sure that you're listening
Here it comes
Don't let it pass you by

Whether the season is soaring
There's a reason for our joy and pain
The sun will stay one day
So rise and seize the mystery
Oh, oh...

In a moment
Life can pass you by
As sure as the sky above
But in this moment
You can come alive
And see that life is beautiful

In a moment
Life can pass you by
As sure as the sky above
But in this moment
You can come alive
And see that life is beautiful
Well, it's here for you this minute
So live before you die
Make sure that you're listening
Here it comes
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
