The Moment Came

from Phantastes by Nick Harper

/

lyrics

Well we all want a dream we can live by
Building one up doesn’t seem so insane
One for us all, the master, the dame
One for the boy who lives down the lane
Building and building and building
All alone in a little house out of the way
The little sculptor working on feet of clay

That little boy’s moment came
And he reached out with both hands
That little boy thought he was pretty brave
Thought he was brave just like a man

He grew up with all those poets
He took it all so seriously
He was mad back then, he was mad back then
And there’s way too much pain, way too much suffering
Just for one poor little world
He thought he could put a few things to rights with it

That little boy’s moment came
And he reached out with both hands
That little boy thought he was so damned brave
Thought he was brave just like a man

On the steps in the flagstone churchyard
Two flutes in his hand that he had to fill to play
The sun was shining after the rain
It was the day after midsummer’s day
They looked down on all the people in town
She turned to him, but never said what she was going to say
He wasn’t going to let the chance get away

That little boy’s moment came
And he reached out with both hands
That little boy well he was pretty brave
Yeah he was brave
That little boy’s moment came
And he reached out with both hands
Finally ..
He kissed her and the little boy was gone
And there he stood
Just like .. like a man
