funny how it goes with the moment so near
in a little while you can almost feel your fear
even before a time and a moment so close
find another way to open up your heart to me

every now and then there's a moment so close
I can see the future telescope in front of me
isn't it the way for a moment so near
to be further from the past than I would want to be

way up high, the little folks zoomin' by,
ask them why, or if they know the way we'll go?

underneath the skin in a moment so close
little particles a'runnin 'round inside of me
smaller that you go is a moment so near
more than I am comprehending is a part of me

thought it was the light shinin' down from the sun
in a moment it would travel 'cross the universe
couldn't you believe in a moment so real
more than words could say it more than eyes could see you there

the ancients will return
descending from the sky
the atoms will explode
too late to wonder why

way up high
we're lookin' for the northern light
open up the evening star
to point the way to where we'll go

so close
so near
release
your fear

a moment close at hand
will split to shake the ground
the answer's on the earth
no questions to be found

way up high
the little fellas zoomin' by
don't ask why
ask if they know they way we'll go

the time
to find
today
the sky
too clear
so high
too late
to try
so close
so near
release
your fear

funny how it goes with the moment so near
in a little while you can almost feel your fear
even before a time and a moment so close
find another way to open up your heart to me
