Now

  Now

I'm going to tell you some things,
That I know you don't want to hear
But now I'm the one giving the orders,
And I hope I can make that clear
This self-pity and frustration,
That you hold tightly within
You have got to let it go,
Before a new life you can begin!

So now...
I need you to listen to me now!
I can change your whole world,
But you have got to listen to me now!
You can raise yourself outta the dirt,
But you have got listen to me now!
I know you think there's no way,
But I promise, there is a way out
I can show you the way...
But only if you listen to me now

I want you to change your perceptions,
Change the way you think
I want to alter your conceptions,
That for some reason you keep
I'm going to throw you a lifeline,
Before you get to deep
I'm going to show you in my own way,
That you're not as weak as you believe!

So now...
I need you to listen to me now!
I can change your whole world,
But you have got to listen to me now!
You can raise yourself outta the dirt,
But you have got listen to me now!
I know you think there's no way,
But I promise, there is a way out
I can show you the way...
But only if you listen to me now!

So tell me why...
Do you lie here?
Is it fear...
That has held you down so long,
That keeps you from moving on...?

I know that you wish,
You were really dead
But I'm not that voice,
Inside of your head
If you do it my way,
It really goes much faster
I'm not going to give in!
I won't take no for an answer!

And now...
You have got to listen to me now!
I can change your whole world,
But you have got to listen to me now!
You can raise yourself outta the dirt,
But you have got listen to me now!
I know you think there's no way,
But I promise, there is a way out
I can show you the way...
But only if you listen to me now!
