VERSE 1

I’m thankful for this clear sky moment

Where the truth don’t hide

Just me and the road behind me

And the miles I survived

I laid my stories on the table

Every page, every tune

If you listen close you’ll hear me

In the space between the notes I croon

CHORUS

This is my moment of clear sky

My moment standing still

I sing it so the world can feel it

Every scar, every hill

I gave my heart in every record

Every truth I knew

If you lean in real close, my friend

You might feel it too

⸻

VERSE 2

My father was a shadow passing

Didn’t know him very long

He fought his own kind of trouble

I fought mine just as strong

I saw his face and saw my own there

Like a mirror I never chose

I forgave him in that moment

For the weight life made him hold

⸻

CHORUS

This is my moment of clear sky

My moment standing still

I sing it so the world can feel it

Every scar, every hill

I gave my heart in every record

Every truth I knew

If you lean in real close, my friend

You might feel it too

VERSE 3

The business never raised me

I learned my lessons on the street

From people chasing better days

And worn-out dancing feet

I chose the road that kept me standing

So I could lift another hand

A full table feeds more people

Than good intentions ever can

⸻

GUITAR SOLO (8 bars)

• Expressive blues bends

• Call-and-response with organ

⸻

VERSE 4

Some friends stood where trouble waits

Where the lights don’t ever shine

I didn’t sing just for the trophies

Or the glow of neon signs

I carry voices from my hometown

Every mile, every drum

I walk with all of them beside me

Every place I’m from

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (FULL BAND)

This is my moment of clear sky

My moment standing still

I sing it so the world can feel it

Every scar, every hill

I gave my heart in every record

Every truth I knew

If you lean in real close, my friend

You might feel it too
