Composed by：Rodney Jerkins/Marvin Hemmings/Thomas Lumpkins

This is our moment ain't no holding us back

Time to own it yeah

Shining bright like the morning

It won't be long till the glory is coming yeah

Come up and rise I can feel the fire burning up inside

You know I am the one the father and the son

Look me in my eyes so you watching

Took him by surprise with no warning

It's God's doing no one planned it

You can must understand that your touch you can hand it off

'Cause I been seeing out your window

Looking at my face like the mirror

Bridging up the clouds just to make a way

Passing through the storms from she rainy day

The sun used to be far away

But now it's right here even though it's in the distance

So you move the earth with your hands

Now I know it's getting hard I'm first to assist ya

And when you're old and grey

Remember I'll take care of ya

It is of a virtue I do what I have to

We gotta let nature take it's place

This is our moment ain't no

Holding us back time to own it

Yeah

Shining bright like the morning

It won't be long 'til the glory is coming yeah

Come up and rise I can feel the fire burning up inside

You know I am the one the father and the son

Yeah yeah yeah yeah father and the son

Yeah yeah yeah yeah father and the son

Got a lot of pride I inherit

Written in the stars couple light years out

Orbiting around like a martian

There's nothing to stop us together we rock it off

Fire in the sky and we made it

World up in our hand 'cause you saved it

So you be the potter and I'm the clay

No I couldn't fit your shoes not in any way

The sun used to be far away

But now it's right here even though it's in the distance

So you move the earth with your hands

Now I know it's getting hard I'm first to assist ya

And when you're old and grey

Remember I'll take care of ya

It is of a virtue I do what I have to

We gotta let nature take it's place

This is our moment ain't no

Holding us back time to own it yeah

Shining bright like the morning

It won't be long 'til the glory is coming yeah

Come up and rise I can feel the fire burning up inside

You know I am the one the father and the son

Yeah yeah yeah yeah father and the son

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Father and the son
