“Starting Now”
© 2004 Diane Waters & Jason Brawner
I’m tired of working so hard, with nothing left to show for it
I’m tired of holding back, when I know I ought to go for it
The clock is talking laughing mocking, ticking away at my life
I ain’t gonna let it
Chorus
Starting now, I can stop pretending
That I have good reasons not to fly
Starting now, the walls are coming down
I’m gonna use these wings to find the sky
Starting now
I used to fall in love, now I just fall behind
I sit and cry at movies, that I’ve seen a thousand times
I should be dancing, laughing, tasting
Taking a bite out of life, going back for seconds
Chorus
Bridge
It’s the grass between my toes
A secret place I like to go
Drawing pictures in the clouds
Catching raindrops in my mouth
Dancing, laughing, singing …Living
Starting now, I’ll take the happy ending
And a slice of everything that has been missing
Starting now, the walls are coming down
I’m gonna use these wings to find the sky
Starting now
