Lyrics
Today, Right Now
Verse 1
I see the simmering haze
I’m fighting illusions
All the headlines, they shout
feeding confusion
Chorus
Woah oh oh
The weight of the world
is not alone for me to bear
We’re shattering old walls
where nobody grows
and where nobody cares.
We’ll build a new world
secure in love and respect
embracing spaces that are
bigger than any one of us
A bridge to our future
‘neath a sky so bright
Where every one of our
dreams take flight
Today, Right Now!
Verse 2
I’m finding my voice
finding my solutions
I’m tuning out the whispers of doubt
I’m building my future.
Chorus
Bridge
There’s no looking back
no regrets to mind
I’m writing my story,
leaving old fears behind
Hope is my compass
My dreams will allow
me to step into the unknown
today, right now!
Chorus
