Standing at the water's edge I dropped my dreams when I dropped my nets No hesitation no regrets I followed You but that was then And this is now You washed my feet and You changed my name I swore I'd never be the same But just like the tides I guess people change 'Cause that was then and this is now I wish I could go back but I don't know how I remember when I stood my ground I swore I'd never let You down I want to be that man again But that was then and this is now I watched the blind man lift his head And look his savior in the eyes I heard a dead man take a breath Dropped to my knees as I watched him rise And I felt the sea beneath my feet As I stepped out on the angry waves But You saw the storm raging within You reached out and calmed me then But this is now I wish I could go back but I don't know how I remember when I stood my ground I swore I'd never let You down I want to be that man again But that was then and this is now Just when I thought my sin had closed the door I see my savior standing on the shore With arms wide open Just like the first time You called my name You said that was then and this is now My child I bore your cross, I wore your crown When you couldn't come to me, my love came down So take my hand, I'll lead you out 'Cause that was then and this is now My child I bore your cross, I wore your crown You couldn't come to me so my love came down Take my hand, I'll lead you out You'll never be that man again 'Cause that was then and this is now

Another memory and I'm asking myself Why can't I let the past be the past Once and for all take a hold of the future And not let it control what I aspire to have I see where my decisions have brought me What's done is done and it's time to start again Can't let it tear me in two, or waste me away I gotta believe 'Cause this is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny What I've seen and what I've been through has made me who I am There was a time in my life where I had no desire to carry on I couldn't see a place for me or a will to survive I never thought to rely on myself or the beliefs that I had denied But this is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny If I control myself I control my tomorrow I got to change today 'Cause this is now Now (now) Now (now) This is now How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today I must control myself if I'm to control my destiny 'Cause this is now This is now This is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now (now) If I control myself I control my destiny
