Check, check
Hold on, buckle up tight
It feels like this is your time to shine
Shine
What if this was the day
Your life finally came to to life? Ooh
Life
So take a good look at yourself and say
Why not now and why not me?
What if I actually believe
What Jesus
What He thinks of me?
Once you know who you are
That ceiling becomes your floor, so fly
And fly
Why not now and why not me?
What if I actually believe
What Jesus
What He thinks of me?
'Cause that changes everything
So why not now and why not me? Yeah
So take another look at yourself and say
Why not now and why not me?
What if I actually believe
What Jesus
What He thinks of me? Oh
Why not now and why not me?
What if I actually believe
What Jesus, oh
What He thinks of me? Oh, yeah
Oh, 'cause that changes everything
So why not now and why not me? Oh
