Song : It All Starts Now
Artist: The Afters
Album: Fear No More
Writer: Joshua Havens , Jordan Mohilowski , Dan Ostebo
For so long, I have my dreams upon a shift
“One of these days, I’ll dust them off, ” I told myself
But life keeps on going, and times keeps on rolling away
Another day, another year around the sun
And all the things I’d like to do keeps stacking up
But I keep on going and times keeps on rolling away,
But it’s all about to change
Cause my time is coming
It all starts now
I’m on my way up
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
The stars are waiting
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
(Oh)
(Oh)
With every breath I’m gonna take, I’ll see it out
And every fear thats in my way, I’ll take it down
And I’ll keep on fighting
Cause I know I’m finding a way
But I could feel the change
And my time is coming
It all starts now
I’m on my way up
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
The stars are waiting
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
(Oh)
(Oh)
I got the fire
(Oh)
I’m going higher
(Oh)
I got the fire
(Oh)
I’m going higher
Higher
I’m on my way up
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
The stars are waiting
I’m on my way up
(Oh)
It all starts now
(Oh) (I’m on my, on my way.)
(Oh) (I’m on my, on my way.)
It all starts now
(Oh) (I’m on my, on my way.)
(Oh)
It all starts now
It All Starts Now Song Meaning
