I know a story, and if you lend me an ear and a halfway open mind
You may discover something about yourself
I see you're distracted,
said the carnival master and pointed down to the broom I should have been pushing
Every task before you is a challenge to succeed
Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment
Like every breathe is a step to forever
Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment boy
If you don't give up, give up, you don't give it up
I remember in passing
But the fool that I was couldn't see for the next ten years
Until I discovered, like waking up from a dream
Instead of a master, or the flying trapeze
I was down here pushing a broom and watching the actors
And I heard again his words
Every choice before you is a challenge to succeed
Oh, oh, oh moment to moment
And every breathe is a step to forever
Oh, oh, oh moment to moment boy
If you don't give up, give up, you don't give it up
And it's too late, is it too late to remedy?
Will you teach me? Will you teach me?
a a a a

a a a a
Every choice before you is a challenge to succeed
a a a a
a a a a
Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment
Like every breathe is a step to forever
Oh, oh, oh, moment to moment boy
If you don't give up, give up, you don't give it up
