From the recordings Waiting for Redemption 2024 and Before a Moment Passes
“Before a Moment Passes (Another One Is Born)” is a gentle, hopeful meditation on the cycles of life, loss, and renewal. Through poignant imagery of tragedy, growth, and healing, the song reminds us that every ending is followed by a new beginning—whether it’s the dawn after darkness, lessons learned from heartbreak, or the slow, patient growth of a tree. With its reflective verses and reassuring message, the song encourages listeners to trust in the passage of time and to find comfort in the promise that, no matter how difficult the moment, new hope is always on the horizon.
Lyrics
Before the day is over a new one has begun before there is darkness there’s a new sun
Before a heart is broken a lesson you can learn before a moment passes another one is born
Saw the fire burning flames filled the sky saw people running and a young girl cry G
It was hard to see and my soul was torn when the moment passed another one was born
Everything takes time everybody knows how long it takes for a tree to grow
Starts off with a seed planted in the soil only seeing fruit after years of toil
Like a clock that’s ticking will turn this way again there’ll be salvation but I can’t tell you when
If it’s hard to sleep and hours till the dawn before the moment passes another one is born
Though it’s hard to see and there’s a time to mourn before a moment passes another one is born
