This Moment Is All lyrics
by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope
[ODYSSEUS]
All my life has led to this moment
I was born and pray to this moment
The time has come to face the test
And if I rise or fall
At least I know I'll give my best
This moment
Is all
[PENELOPE]
I will lift my gaze to this moment
Raise my voice in praise of this moment
[BOTH]
I'm risking all that I possess
My back's against the wall
But I feel grateful nonetheless
THis moment is all
[TELEMACHUS]
I will be defined by this moment
[EURYCLEIA]
Providence assigned me this moment
[DAPHNE]
I'm ready now to do my part
I hear the warrior's call
[TELEMACHUS]
But do I have the warrior's heart?
[ALL]
This moment will tell all
[TELEMACHUS]
Will I be the hero of my story?
[EURYCLEIA]
Or merely fortune's slave?
[ALL]
Today will tell, and I may not win glory
But at least I can promise I'll be brave
I have dreamt each night of this moment
Bending to the light of this moment
[ODYSSEUS]
Will I let my loved ones down?
[TELEMACHUS]
Or finally stand tall?
[SUITORS]
Will I gain a new renown?
[ALL]
This moment will tell all
[DAPHNE]
Will I rise from the mud?
[ODYSSEUS]
Will I win back my wife?
[TELEMACHUS]
Am I ready for blood?
[PENELOPE]
Should I give up my life?
[SUITORS]
Will the Gods take my side?
[ODYSSEUS]
Will my strength turn the tide?
[ALL]
This moment
Is all
[SUITORS]
Aah-Aah
[ODYSSEUS & PENELOPE]
A new life begins in this moment
God forgives our sins in a moment
Will time forget the part of fate
[ALL]
Or history recall
The way that I behave today
This moment
Is all
Is all
