Stand beside the ocean and look out to the sky

Wait for the moment that you'll see your ship arrive

Well, it could be tomorrow or it could be today

No one ever knows, it doesn't work that way

But when you least expect it, and she sails into view

You'll know the moment waits for you

​

Down on your luck, you fall down on your knees

And wait for the moment that heaven hears your pleas

But it could be a stranger, or it might be a friend

It could be someone you never see again

But when you least expect it, and someone pulls you through

You'll know the moment waits for you

​

You got to walk the length of road to get over the fence

You got to read the book before the last page will make sense

And when you least expect it, and find out this is true

You'll know the moment waits for you

​

Something's broken, you're lost in the crowd

You wait for the moment your heart can sing out loud

Well, it could be a long time, but maybe not, my friend

There could be someone right around the bend

And when you least expect it, and find the love that's true

You'll know the moment waits for you
