There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end
Baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around, I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.

And I have the courage like never before, yeah
I’ve settled for less, now I’m ready for more
Ready for more

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around, I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now

I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.

This is my now
