Taken For A Moment
by Meatloaf
TAKEN FOR A MOMENT
Rising through the silence
Pushing back the folds of the dark
Narrowing the distance
Smiling on a moment apart
Dreams cannot be broken though a beating heart is still
Because dreams live longer than a dreamer ever will
Pushing back the folds of the dark
Narrowing the distance
Smiling on a moment apart
Dreams cannot be broken though a beating heart is still
Because dreams live longer than a dreamer ever will
Taken for a moment, taken for a moment
Higher than the silence
Shining through the folds of the dark
There won’t be a distance
There can’t be a moment apart
Words will not be spoken though a beating heart is still
But dreams live longer than a dreamer ever will
Shining through the folds of the dark
There won’t be a distance
There can’t be a moment apart
Words will not be spoken though a beating heart is still
But dreams live longer than a dreamer ever will
Taken for a moment, taken for a moment
‘Taken for a Moment’ was written as a direct response to the assassination of Anti Apartheid activist David Webster, who was gunned down outside his Troyeville, Johannesburg home by Ferdi Barnard of the CCB. The song is dedicated to his memory.
