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?
