If Not Now, When?
Wretched daylight Beaming through my window again, Today I'm gonna make you my friend. Yellow sunlight, Feeding my soul what it needs Healing up the scars it bleeds Where ever that leads...
Makes it hard to learn when you're doing all the talkin Starin at your feet makes you stumble when you're walkin Chin on the ground, lookin for a place to land While life is dealin lessons with the back of its hand Never get a flame on the end of that candle While you're standin out in the rain, Never feel the warmth of the light upon our soul Until you face that sun again, So I ask you friend, If not know, I ask you when?
Gonna find a little water Think I'm gonna jump right in Let the breeze blow across my skin Consume a little soul food Heal the melancholy grief Restoring my belief
Makes it hard to learn when you're doing all the talking Staring at your feet makes you stumble when you're walkin Chin on the ground lookin for a place to land While life is dealing lessons with the back of its hand Never get a flame on the end of your candle While you're standing out in the rain Never feel the warmth of the light upon your soul Until you face that sun again, so I ask you friend, If not now, I ask you when?
When you gonna learn that it's all under your control? You can hit the rock or learn to roll Stand outside, and curse the the rain or step inside and get warm again Embrace the II change or stay the same Let a little bit of love heal all that pain The choice is yours so lets begin We've got no time to waste my friend
Never feel the light on your soul my friend Until you face that sun again Feel the light Spark the flame On your feet and lets play the game I've asked before but I'll ask again, that if not now, well then I ask you when?

Well it's another damn night sleeping all alone again, I figured long before now I might find myself a friend, I've taken one or two shots at trying to start it all over again, But I really gotta say that you're hard to beat my friend.
I've seen the stars light up the mountains And the ocean's fury on the land I've held the memories in my fingers And let 'em slip right through like grains of sand, I've tried to let go of the anger, Yeah, I'm headed for a bettter place But I suppose that we're somewhat different 'Cuz there are just some things I can't replace
Well it's another fine mess that you find me in again, I figured long before now we might finally start to mend, Took a whole lotta distance and a little bit of time, Making enemies of friends, And I really gotta say that I'm missing you my friend.
I've seen the stars light up the mountains And the ocean's fury on the land I've held the memories in my fingers And let 'em slip right through like grains of sand, I've tried to let go of the anger, Yeah, I'm headed for a bettter place But I suppose that we're somewhat different 'Cuz there are just some things I can't replace
Well it's another fine mess that you find me in again, I figured long before now we might finally reach the end, And I would travel any distance for a minute of your time, The way it was back then And I really gotta say that I'm missing you my friend And I really gotta say that I'm missing you my friend credits released November 5, 2018
