Текст песни While the Moment's Good - Thomas Sanders , Terrence Williams

While the moment's good
You take what you can
Because the moment
Might not be so good for long

So you've got a tree
It might just be a tree
But if you only see a tree
Then you've got it wrong

You could be showing us who's not afraid
Or nestle underneath it's shade
And maybe it's not perfect, but it's here

So take a chance
The coast is clear

When it's ripe you've gotta grab the fruit
Get it while you can and the rest will follow suit
Maybe it's not paradise but for the price you're getting
It's a deal you've got to knock on wood
You've got to grab the moment while the moment's good

I don't think "while the moment's good" is a
Thing. Also I think you might be mixing your metaphors.

I think you might be mixing me up with
Someone else because my metaphors are awesome.

But the tree is the fruit.

No, the moment is the fruit. The tree is the moment...
Is the fruit. Not important. The point is, well, for example:

Think about the bark
You climb the bark while you embark
So the bark therefore is
Sort of like the sea

Yeah, I hear it.

Take the shade
The shade can be an aid for you
When you want to unwind here
On your own

It's like an eagle
An eagle who so regally
Takes you underneath its wing and-

I'm gonna stop you right there.

Yeah, that was bad.

Look, I appreciate the sentiment,
But this tree is not interesting to me.
I get it - it's some kind of magical palace for your bird watching.

Birds can't afford palaces! Now who's not making any sense?

Not the point.

No, the point is

It might be hard to understand
It might be slightly a little less grander
Than all the things you dreamed that you would do

But it's just today
Embrace what's here in front of you

Getting there on the first try can be hard

Skill it back and look for something right there in your yard

Take it in discreet steps
Pace yourself with easy street steps

Let yourself be less than you think you should.

Nope, not what I meant.
You gotta take the moment while the moment's good.

I just wanna watch the birds go by
Sitting underneath this giant hopeless fir, or whatever it is
I wanna watch them fly and fly
So long as I can get away from her
(Warrior Girl sets out on her expedition
Warrior Girl climbs the tallest oak, or whatever it is
She looks over rooftops from her high altitude position
As she floats in the wind)

Wait, what did you just say?

If I could get a word...
In
Then I would say that there's a way
That both of you could find a common ground
While the moment's good
You can take this opportunity to talk
It out so maybe you'll both come around

Sorry for that thing I said

It's okay let's hang out by this tree

Just you and me
And then this other guy

I'm so glad
That I could help... 3! 4!

It might be just a lonely stage ripe elm

Or whatever it is

But it could be a quiet spot to read

Or something less silly like the helm of a pirate ship
Or a bridge

That sits right up into the sky
It's a small dream but it could be just as good

You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
