HERE AND NOW

The most popular question
If you could go back in time
What would you do different
What would you seek to find
To make life more bearable
Lessen the pain and tears
If you could go back in time
And you could pick the year

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Choose the here and now
Despite everything
You’re an amazing being
Don’t need to change a thing
Throw your shoulders back
stand up nice and straight
Look them in the eye
Be who you are today
All for the greater good
It works out somehow
Despite everything
Choose the here and now
~~*~~

Life is packed full of lessons
You ask why so many times
Why’d I ever marry him
Why’d my Child have to die
I can’t get the job I want
He won’t even look at me
Should have gone to college
How could I set her free
Why did I drink and drive
Should have been a better friend
Wish I could do things different
Start my life once again

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
The best thing about a new day
Is each one is a chance
You get to start all over
Stairs climbed stay in the past
Build it bigger and better
Make it brighter than before
The decision is all yours
Count the blessings or remorse
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Choose the here and now
Despite everything
You’re an amazing being
Don’t need to change a thing
Throw your shoulders back
Stand up nice and straight
Look them in the eye
Be who you are today
All for the greater good
It works out somehow
Despite everything
Choose the here and now
