What About Now

You wanna start a fire

It only takes a spark

You gotta get behind the wheel

If you're ever gonna drive that car

If you wanna take a bite

You'd better have the teeth

If you wanna take that step

Then get up off of your knees



Cause tonight, we're alive



Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely,

For the desperate and the hungry?

Time for the count

I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teacher

Stand up and be proud,

What about now?



You wanna start a fight

You gotta take a swing

You gotta get your hands in the dirt

To see what the harvest will bring

You wanna raise your voice

Don't be scared to breathe

Don't be afraid to hurt

Don't be ashamed to need



Cause tonight, we're alive



Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely,

For the desperate and the hungry?

Time for the count

I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teacher

Stand up and be proud,

What about now?



We live for right reasons that drift through the seasons

Still dreams are just pale, dark and grey

And all of your plans that slip right through your hands

Are just dreams that you'll take to your grave



Tonight, we're alive



Who'll stand for the restless, for the lonely,

For the desperate and the hungry?

Time for the count

I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teacher

Stand up and be proud,

What about now?

What about now?

What about now?

What about now?
