What About Now?

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,


The first time I heard this song, I thought it was another one of those love songs that we usually hear. But I listened to it again, and again, and again, and then I understood. I realized that this song had a much deeper meaning to it.
It portrayed our current earth and the people living here. But I wanted to make sure that I was right, so I watched the video, and there I saw it. I saw in that video what was happening to the lives of so many people out there. Their poverty has reduced them to the bare necessities of life. They have nothing, while we're enjoying our lives, not paying attention to their situation. WE are selfish. We don't care about others, we only care about ourselves.
This song was written to open our ignorant eyes to the painful truth of the world. That's why we should all do something to help our world and the people inhabiting it, even if we do it in small ways.
But... yes, we always say that we're going to help, and yet, we always say that we're still waiting for the right time to do so. But open your eyes, people! We always look and wait for the right time, not knowing that each time is right only if we make things happen.
So when shall we start? hmm... What about.... NOW???
