About Moment of Glory

Moment of Glory is a compilation album by German hard rock band Scorpions. It was recorded in collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and released in 2000. The album features re-arranged songs from the Scorpions repertoire, as well as classical interludes, a cover song and the new single "Moment of Glory". Initially, English composer Andrew Powell was asked to provide arrangements and Michael Kamen was designated next for the orchestral material. After the latter gave up the job in order to work with Metallica for their album S&M, finally the Austrian arranger and conductor Christian Kolonovits proved to be the right collaborator.

A moment of glory called evolution 
Could I see the world with the eyes of a child 
A new beginning, a moment of freedom 
Like angels are singing a song full of joy 

This Side Of Heaven 
Belongs To The Children 
I will be there, when the future arrives 

A moment of glory called evolution 
Could I fly away like a bird in the Sky 
No limitation, a new inspiration 
A World that is free just as free as my mind 

Communication 
A new destination 
The planet of visions is calling tonight 

Another thousand years seem so long 
I´m just a passenger 
And the ride ride has just begun 

Moment of glory 
A moment of glory called evolution 
Could I see the world with the eyes of a child 
A new beginning, a moment of freedom 
Like angels are singing a song full of joy 

This Side Of Heaven 
Belongs To The Children 
I will be there, when the future arrives
