Mother, can you hear me for the first time I see
 
 born into eyes not by my own decision
 
 take me away from a life with no vision
 
 step down from the subway, climb the staircase to the street
 
 spinning in circles and holding on tight to this moment forever
 
 if only tonight
 
  
  -Chorus-
 
 I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
 
 I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me
  
 
 Driving through the city for the first time you and me
 
 staring through windows at my own reflection 
 
 how can a window encompass perfection
 
 now that I know what it's like to be living
 
 this beautiful world will never stop giving
 
 I can't return to a life with no vision
 
 born into eyes not by my own decision
  
 
 -Chorus-
  
 
 Watching the world through the eyes of a child
 
 sitting alone in my room
 
 wishing that someone would take me away someday
 
 give me a chance and I'll show you what's real
 
 open your eyes and you'll see
 
 that I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me 
  
 
 -Chorus-
