Middle Of A Moment
This piece was featured in the musical "James and the Giant Peach" written by the Broadway songwriting duo Pasek & Paul. Piano-led, playful, and upbeat, the lyrics deal with the magic of living in the moment. It's the perfect way to change the pace after a powerful opener. There is an optional tenor solo for the first verse.
Instrumentation: Piano/2 Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

If this is what my family has to be Then I don't need one watching over me A family doesn't make you sleep outside A family doesn't laugh and say you lie Remember what a home is Think of how your life should be But you're stuck in the middle of a moment Can't crawl out of where you are Only steps away, the world's okay But you can't see that far Stuck in the middle of a moment That's halfway to somewhere new Can't go back You're moving through You'll have to think in ways you never thought You'll have to make the best of what you've got Find the answers hiding in between See a door that no one's ever seen Something's there you feel it Stop to look it's all around So you're stuck in the middle of a moment No clear path no shining star Just a step away the world's okay So try to see that far And there in the middle of a moment You're halfway to somewhere new Can't go back ‘Cause there is magic Now you know You made magic Made it grow And marvelous, wonderful things can come true In the middle of a moment In the middle of a moment In the middle of a moment You're on your way (Pasek & Paul)
