A Moment Returned

Verse I'm 14 for a moment Watching my father struggle He promises he'll get clean And I hold him so tight Verse I'm 21 for a moment He walks me down the aisle He gives my trembling hand To the love of my life Chorus 14, with your family near you Time to hold them and help them through 14, every day feels hard but their love is true Soon the world will open for you Verse I'm 29 for a heartbeat Two pink lines in the morning My hands start shaking But my heart feels alive Verse I'm 42 for a second Backpacks by the doorway He steals a quick kiss As we're rushing again Bridge He fought his way back Kept the promise he made Years steady and sober Till heaven called his name You held me together Through the long quiet years Twenty seasons beside me Through the laughter and tears Verse I'm 68 for a season Sitting beside his hospital bed I hold his old hand Like he once held mine Verse I'm 99 for a lifetime Waking with the sunrise The bed beside me Is quiet and still Final Chorus 14, there's time ahead of you 21, love will guide you through 29, new life calls your name Every dawn begins again 14, there's time ahead of you Time to laugh and time to choose 14, every dream feels close to you When the whole world waits for you
