Now's the Time

Wake with the rising sun, up for another one
Everyday's a grind, trying to catch the time
On the run, on the run
Time's always on the run, doesn't wait for anyone
Or anything, or anything
Like a favorite song, old dreams keep on playing in my mind
They've waited for so long, for their time to finally arrive
I do believe now's the time
I've gone years and years without really living
Minding squeaky wheels just giving and giving
And dreaming
Like wildflowers growing through sidewalk cracks
The weight of the world makes 'em change their tracks
To find, the sun, and shine

Now, now, now's the time
To put on the shoes I've saved for the right time
Run with wind and sail with the sunshine
I'll pay no mind to the cruel and unkind
'Cause, now, now, now's the time
The deck is stacked for those who fall in line
Gonna make my own way, gonna keep on tryin'
Cause' life is for living, and happiness is free
Not spending my days to wait and see
Whatever will be is fine by me
Now, now, now, now's the time

I walk a road of lessons earned, life paved for me to learn
With every passing day, paying my dues away
Everyday, everyday
But my dreams still find, their way into my mind
And sway me from the replay, everyday
It's a gift of peace, to know through darkness sees the light
Like the sterling moon, gleams bright up high in the eventide
Now's the time, now's the time
To take every moment on the fly
Gonna look life straight in the eye
And make each and every dream come alive

Now's the time
To put on the shoes I've saved for the right time
Run with wind and sail with the sunshine
I'll pay no mind to the cruel and unkind
Cause' now, now, now's the time
The deck is stacked for the fall in for those who fall in line
Gonna make my own way, gonna keep on tryin'
Cause' life is for living, and happiness is free
Not spending my days to wait and see
Whatever will be is fine by me
Now, now, now, now's the time

The whole world's a canvas for our sketches
Horizons as far as the mind stretches
A work of art with soft edges
Waiting to come alive
Now's the time

To put on the shoes I've saved for the right time
Run with wind and sail with the sunshine
I'll pay no mind to the cruel and unkind
'Cause now, now, now's the time
The deck is stacked for those who fall in line
Gonna make my own way, gonna keep on tryin'
Cause' life is for living, and happiness is free
Not spending my days to wait and see
Whatever will be is fine by me
Now, now, now, now's the time
