What About Now

1. You wanna start a fire
It only takes a spark
You gotta get behind the wheel
If you're ever gonna drive that car
If you wanna take a bite
You'd better have the teeth
If you wanna take that step
Then get up off of your knees
Cause tonight, we're alive.

[Chorus:]
Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely
For the desperate and the hungry
Time for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teacher
Stand up and be proud
What about now?

2. You wanna start a fight
You gotta take a swing
You gotta get your hands in the dirt
To see what the harvest will bring
You wanna raise your voice
Don't be scared to breathe
Don't be afraid to hurt
Don't be ashamed to need
Cause tonight, we're alive.

[Bridge:]
We live for right reasons that drift through the seasons
Still dreams are just pale, dark and grey
And all of your plans that slip right through your hands
Are just dreams that you'll take to your grave
Tonight, we're alive.
