[Verse 1]
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
[Chorus]
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
[Chorus]
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
[Verse 2]
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
[Verse 2]
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I will be [x2]
I will be free
I will be
I will be free
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I will be [x2]
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

Whitney
Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer,
actress, producer, and model. In 2009, Guinness World Records cited her as the
most awarded female act of all-time. Houston is one of the best-selling music
artists of all-time, with 200 million records sold worldwide. She released
seven studio albums and two soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond,
multi-platinum, platinum, or gold certification. Houston's crossover appeal on
the popular music charts, as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her
video for 'How Will I Know', influenced several African American women artists
who follow in her footsteps.
Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 songs. She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only woman to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly 'Top Pop Albums') on the Billboard magazine year-end charts. Houston's self-titled debut album (1985) became the best-selling debut album by a woman in history. Rolling Stone named it the best album of 1986, and ranked it at number 254 on the magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album, Whitney (1987), became the first album by a woman to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Houston made her screen acting debut as Rachel Marron in the romantic thriller film The Bodyguard (1992). She performed the lead single from the film's original soundtrack, 'I Will Always Love You', which received the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became the best-selling single by a woman in music history. With the soundtrack, which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1994, Houston became the first act (solo or group, male or female) to sell more than a million copies of an album within a single week period under Nielsen SoundScan system. The album makes her the top female act in the top 10 list of the best-selling albums of all time, at number four. Houston made other high-profile film appearances and contributed to their soundtracks, including Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). The latter's soundtrack became the best-selling gospel album in history.
