"What About Now" lyrics

You wanna start a fire
It only takes a spark
You gotta get behind the wheel
If you're ever gonna drive that car

If you wanna take a bite
You'd better have the teeth
If you're gonna take that step
Then get up off of your knees

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?

You wanna start a fight
You gotta take a swing
You gotta get your hands in the dirt
To see what the harvest will bring
You wanna raise your voice
Don't be scared to breathe
Don't be afraid to hurt
Don't be ashamed in need

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?

The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons
'Til dreams are just fade dark and grey
And all of your plans that slip right through your hands
Are just things that you take to your grave

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
