Freeze the Moment - Michel Griffin

http://itunes.com/MichelGriffin or http://www.MichelGriffin.com to download more music from Michel Griffin. This song is from the "Echoes, Waves or Ricochets" album.

There's a whole universe in a raindrop.

The song tries to capture the preciousness of that tiny slice we have of the endless continuum we call Time. And notes that when we look at the face of a lover or friend, we don't see them just in the present, we see also the past we have shared. It notes too the fragility of our existence, and the insecurity of our lovely floating planet .....

The lyrics are copyright © M.J.C. Griffin :

Timeless, silent, spinning free, veined by links space cannot see,
Our planet floats eternally - by such a slender thread ...
The here & now is a moving point that digests the future at such a rate
It spits out the past like a comets tail: such a slender thread ...

Freeze the moment; Take the time to feel alive
Freeze the moment: Its by such a slender thread ...

Lost in the freefall of your look I see you through a kaleidoscope
Of all the pasts weve already shared that are shining from your face.
And when we talk, all the words we use, they resonate in corridors
That are already lined with the echoes of all weve said before.

Freeze the moment; Take the time to feel alive
Freeze the moment: Its by such a slender thread ...

Somewhere, on some distant shore, the children of Hiroshima
Turn their sightless eyes toward the setting of the sun.
Timeless, silent, spinning free, veined by links space cannot see
Our planet floats eternally - by such a slender thread ...

Freeze the moment; Take the time to feel alive
Freeze the moment: Its by such a slender thread ...
