[Verse 1]

When you're alone, you ask yourself
what are you searching for?
Deep in the night, a dream is born
one that you can't ignore.

If you think you can find the passion
and you're ready to take a chance,
If you really believe you can make it
then the power is in your own hands

[Chours]

It's the moment of truth you're giving it all,
standing alone willing to fall.
If you can do it, get up and prove it,
get up and show them who you are.
It's the moment of truth, it's all on a line,
this is the place, this is the time,
waiting forever, it's now or it's never, nothing can stop you now.

[Verse 2]

Once in your life, you make a choise, ready to risk it all.
Deep in your soul, you hear a voice, answering to the call.
Though you know that it won't be easy,
it's a promise you made for love,
for the people that keeps believing,
and the one that you're thinking of.

[Chours x3]

    This song came from the Karate Kid soundtrack. In the video, they perform in Mr Miyagi's back yard (sand on, sand off!) The singer said the verses were in too low a key for him.

    This song reminds me of starting my senior year of high school. My principle was a big survivor fan and played this song over the school speakers and said "This is the Moment of Truth. It will be our theme for this year."

    Everyone almost died of laughter......but hey.....i still like the song.

    This one's self-explanatory.

    "Though yea know that it won't be easy" "Yea" should be "you".

    My Interpretation

    This is a VERY cheesy song, but I love it! It's about confronting bullies!

    This song is SO terrible, but I LOVE it so much because I LOVE the 1984 martial arts classic "The Karate Kid"!

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
