Lyrics
Iff 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?
