It's really easy for people to feel trapped by their history. Sometimes people are desperate to take a different path but lack the courage, because doing what they've always done is safer. In the end they lose part of themselves - sometimes the part of themselves that is the most truly who they are. This is to give courage to those at that crossroads to just go for it.

The only time the future starts is now
The only time it starts is now
And all the things you wanna do
All the things you wanna do
Do them now

chorus
Paint me a picture, write me a play
Take me a photograph of the things you did today
For when tomorrow comes, today's just yesterday

There's no point in mourning history
No point in mourning history
So all the things you wanna try
All the things you wanna try
Try them now

The tale's not told until you told it
The future's yours to mould it
And the story carries on
Don't let yesterday define you
The future's not behind you
Time to greet the breaking dawn

The only time the future starts is now
The only time it starts is now
And all the things you wanna see
All the things you wanna see
Go see them now
