Why Not Today

I love the song Why Not Today by Eric Dodge. It's such an uplifting song. We can't stand around and wait for life to happen. If we do, we are going to miss out on everything we want to do. We can't dwell too much on the past, it can't be changed. We shouldn't worry too much about the future because we can't do anything about it. We should focus on what is happening in the present and live each day to it's fullest. This is all easier said than done, but the message is still a good one. These are the lyrics to the song:


I've been waiting for just the right moment
To start living the life of my dreams
I was hoping some magical moment would come rescue me
But it hit me today
There's no better time to begin
This day I've been given
Is my day to start livin
So I'm jumping in

Why not today
While the sun is shining
Today while I know I can
The past is behind me
Tomorrow can't find me
'Til I live today
So why not today
While my heart is ready
Today while it's in my grasp
If I start out slowly
I'm confident knowing
I'm still on my way
So why not today

I've been searching
In all the wrong places
For the courage
To follow my dreams
But I've finally discovered the power lies inside of me
I could spend my life waiting
For something to show me the way
But I would be missing
The wonderful blessing
Of embracing today

Why not today
While the sun is shining
Today while I know I can
The past is behind me
Tomorrow can't find me
'Til I live today
So why not today
While my heart is ready
Today while it's in my grasp
If I start out slowly
I'm confident knowing
I'm still on my way
So why not today

I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able
I'm learning to fly
But how will I know, how high I can soar
If I never try

Why not today
While the sun is shining
Today while I know I can
The past is behind me
Tomorrow can't find me
'Til I live today
So why not today
While my heart is ready
Today while it's in my grasp
If I start out slowly
I'm confident knowing
I'm still on my way
So why not today

Why not today
