It's that moment when the laser catches your hand
and it's illuminated in a purple haze for just a second,
That moment when everyone brings their hands way above their
heads and claps at the exact same time as
everyone else, an electric sound ringing from above,
The moment when you scream the lyrics, each syllable
bouncing off against the others like bubbles but
you can't even hear yourself

It's that moment when the yellow lights turn the blue
balloons green and the red ones orange,
It's the moment that you dance with everyone around you
in a collective up down crazy crazy crazy movement
whether you know them or not.

At that moment, everything slows down.
You look around and see faces highlighted
purple, blue, red and yellow.
Hands are turned up to the sky,
mouths open.
At that moment you know that you are no longer
YOU,
but just a small part of something much bigger.
It seems that at that moment, the universe is
****** into the room
and you are simply lost
in the moment.
