Story Behind The Song
After writing about depressing times in previous songs, I decided to write a song about taking a chance, reaching for a goal, and doing it NOW...
Song Description
This song is an upbeat motivational song. Like the chorus says, the best time to reach for a goal is "here and now".

Lyrics
Verse 1:
All your days, are spent looking out for a better way
Everyone says that you?re out for play, not the same as yesterday
It?s time to find the road from which you went astray
I?m the one that you strive to be
I know my son, what you want to see, but you?re on the run
Chorus:
All, it must be here and now, it?s too late to take a fall
It doesn?t matter how, you?ve got to give it all, the time to go is now
Don?t listen to the call of what gets you down
The time to give it all is here and now
Verse 2:
Oh, you?re on the run
Oh no, the battle?s never done
Everything that you say and do is pretty much the same
Nothing?s ever new, take a look at the feelings deep in you
Try to see the bigger picture, gain a better view
I?m the one that you try to see
I know my son how hard it seems, when you need someone
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Oh you?re not the only one
Oh no, the work is never done
Love?s the key, hope is the way; we may never see, into the next day
If we can use the power that we keep
Maybe we can take that leap to the land of the wild and free
You?re the one that inspires me
I know my son that we?ll be free
It has begun
(Chorus)
