Verse 1
I kept saying “one more day,”
One more sign along the way,
Thought I’d wake up down the line,
When the stars and plans aligned.
But every time I checked the clock,
There was only this one spot.
Chorus
It’s always now, never then,
Wake up late, wake up again,
You can’t miss it, can’t be slow—
It only shows up where you are though.
Not tomorrow, not somehow—
If you wake up, it’s always now.
Verse 2
I tried to get myself prepared,
Tried to prove that I was there,
But the future never came,
Only thoughts that said its name.
Then I saw what felt too plain—
Nothing’s waiting to begin.
Chorus
It’s always now, never next,
Not a goal, not a context,
No arrival, no big vow—
If you wake up, it’s always now.
Not improved, not figured out—
Just this moment, here, about.
Bridge
Past is memory here again,
Future’s just imagining,
Even “not awake” is said
From the now it tries to get ahead.
Final Chorus
It’s always now, sing it clear,
There’s no other time but here,
You don’t reach it, don’t know how—
You notice what’s already now.
No before and no allow—
If you wake up, it’s always now.
Outro
Not later.
Not earned.
Just - Now.!
