VERSE 1
When I was a young boy, I had these dreams.
And time didn’t matter, or so it seemed.
Now I'm still a dreamer, like I was back then.
But time keeps screamin’, “If not now when?”
VERSE 2
Hundreds of heartaches and broken down plans,
So many "what ifs" and “what if I can”
My fear held me captive, caged in a pen.
It's time to break free, boy, if not now when?
CHORUS
If not now when?
If not me who?
I can't pretend,
'Cause I know it's true.
I make this vow.
I swear amen.
My time is now.
If not now when?
VERSE 3
Doubting and blaming, I gotta let them go,
'Cause this healing journey, it can go so slow.
But I hear these voices again and again.
They keep on a-callin’, “If not now when?”
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It's time to take this leap of faith without a net.
Hello to destiny, and goodbye regret.
CHORUS
CODA
I make this vow.
I swear amen.
My time is now.
If not now when?
If not now when?
If not now when?
