One Moment In Time

Back in the 80s and early 90s, Whitney Houston was a diva to be reckoned with. She had produced powerful songs with a voice that could chill, uplift the soul, and inspire. She was beginning a minor acting career and it seemed the sky was the limit and she'd become a powerhouse in the music industry and try to take Hollywood as well... all before she married Bobby Brown.

Well, we all know what happened in that situation. It's shame. A part of me keeps hoping she goes for a comeback in her career, but I think times have changed and her genre of music no longer fits the mainstream.

One Moment In Time was written for inspiration towards 1988 Olympians. I remember those Olympics well because I friend I had went to high school participated in some of the swimming venues. To me, this is a feel good, heartwarming song, encouraging to rise above, and become more than what you are. Not for someone else, but for yourself....

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me


One Moment In Time
Whitney Houston

Each day I live
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I'm only one, but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet, I faced the pain
I rise and fall,
Yet through it all this much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

I've lived to be the very best
I want it all, no time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be, I will be, I will be free, I will be,
I will be free
