Life has a way of getting you down 
Before you even notice 
It might take
you years to see 
But it was only a moment for me

So I’m keeping all the good stuff 
And I’m letting some things leave 
I don’t need to hold every shadow 
I don’t need to make it mean everything

Maybe life is just moments 
Maybe life is just moments 
They don’t have to mean something deep 
They can just pass through me 
Maybe life is just moments (only a moment) 
And I can let them be

There were days I wore my worry 
Like a coat in the rain 
Clutching every small disaster 
Calling it by my name

Now I leave the door half-open 
Let the wind move through 
If the hurt wants to come and go 
I won’t chain it to my shoes

Maybe life is just moments 
Maybe life is just moments 
They don’t have to mean something deep 
They can just pass through me 
Maybe life is just moments (only a moment) 
And I can let them be

And if I stumble, I don’t break 
I just bend and breathe 
Some things bloom for a minute 
Then they fall like leaves

So I take what stays 
I release the rest 
That little bit of mercy Is the best I’ve got

Maybe life is just moments 
Maybe life is just moments 
They don’t have to mean something deep 
They can just pass through me 
Maybe life is just moments (only a moment) 
And I can let them be
