The Prophet - One Minute in a Lifetime lyrics

I saw the light It lit up the sky I closed my eyes But it still glowed inside And when I looked again The day was just as dark as the night And like a man who's gone blind At first I was scared I reached out for balance I fell from side to side Every man has tasted fear One minute in a lifetime Now I know what happened Heaven and Earth combined And I touched pure paradise One minute in a lifetime, my lifetime And when we met tonight I knew it was your place and your time I knew you'd seen the light Because you have all the signs At first you're a drawn to the light Like moths to a fire Though you get burned You still know that you'll stay I'm sure you wonder why Such happiness can force you to cry You feel so low yet so high But don't be afraid Try to keep your balance And I'll be by your side We all knock at heaven's door One minute in a lifetime This was meant to happen Don't even try to fight Everyone sees paradise One minute in a lifetime Now you know what's happened You saw two worlds collide And you found paradise One minute in a lifetime, your lifetime
