This Is My Now
Jordin Sparks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid.
I thought I'd reached the end,
But baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays.
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 have to decide,
Was I gonna to play it safe.
Or look somewhere deep in side,
Try to turn the tide,
And find the strength to take that step of faith.
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'm living in the moment
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.
This is my now.

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 Iโd reached the end
Baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays
[Chorus]
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I canโt believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
Had to decide was I gonna play it safe
Or look somewhere deep inside
and try to turn the tide
Find the strength to take that step of faith
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I have the courage like never before, yeah
Iโve settled for less but ready for more
Ready for more

There was a time
I packed my dreams away
Livin' 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
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
I had to decide, was I gonna play it safe
Well but somewhere deep inside
I tried to turn the tide
And find the strength to take that step of faith
This is my now

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
This is my now

Our Senior High School graduation song. Everytime I heard this song it reminds me of all the moments and memories with my classmates and friends in highschool. Miss those moments a lot. If i could only turn back the time, but I can't. Sad but we need to move forward.
