Now Is Exactly the Time
If you can
You should try and learn to forgive yourself
Night and day
The world will try and make you someone else
But you're not alone
On the earth tonight
No, you're not alone in the blinking light
Oh, a victory
Will be won and lost a thousand times
So if you can
Offer empathy, don't get lost in pride
Oh, forgive your friends
They are only young
Oh, forgive your friends like you've always done
Oh, 'cause now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To turn your head
From the past
And if you can
Try and get to know your parents well
Forgive them, too
They are more like you than you can tell
When they give advice
Offer sympathy
They're just showing you who they want to be
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To turn your head
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To turn your head from the past
And I could spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
But don't look back, don't feel ashamed
And I could spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
But don't look back, don't feel ashamed
Oh, 'cause now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To turn your head
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, and now is exactly the time
To turn your head
From the past
