Gord Downie - The Moment Is A Wild Place Lyrics

The Moment Is a Wild Place Song Lyrics
The Moment Is a Wild Place by Gord Downie [Verse 1]
Heal, how?
Faith? Faith
Powerless
Against the music in their helmets
I have done
Such bad work, I'm greedy for life
Take it, steal it
If you don't feel it, I won't feel it
Let's kill war with
Our happy hopes and comforting myths
"Don't just do
Something, stand there," yeah, just stand there

[Chorus]
They say, "Ya gotta live in the moment"
They keep saying, "Just live in the moment"
Oh, you gotta live in the moment
What they don't say, is the moment
Is a wild place, is a wild place

[Verse 2]
If I'm free
Why do I feel like this?
Is this all
My dreaming accomplishes?
Thus began
The longest night of our lives
"Understand?"
"No but, it's brilliant, it's brilliant"

[Chorus]
They say, "just live in the moment"
They keep saying I gotta live in the moment
Oh, just live in the moment
But what they don't say is the moment
Is a wild place, is a wild place

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Heal, how?
Faith? Faith
Just be yourself
Or be Johnny, yeah, or be Johnny Cash

[Chorus]
They say, "Just live in the moment"
They keep saying, "Ya gotta live in the moment"
Oh, why can't you live in the moment?
But what they don't say is the moment
Is a wild place, it's a wild place
