John Shanks - What About Now lyrics

[Verse 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're gonna take that step Then get up off of your knees [Chorus 1] 'Cause tonight we're alive [Chorus 2] 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 faithless and the teacher Stand up and be proud What about now? [Verse 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 in need [Chorus 1] 'Cause tonight we're alive [Chorus 2] 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 faithless and the teacher Stand up and be proud What about now? [Verse 3] The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons 'Til dreams are just fade dark and grey And all of your plans that slip right through your hands Are just things that you take to your grave [Chorus 1] 'Cause tonight we're alive [Chorus 2] 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 faithless and the teacher Stand up and be proud What about now? What about now? What about now? What about now?
