The Time Is Now

Sometimes I keep trying
Trying hard to survive
What does it take 
To finally make it work?

Others keep prospering
They keep doing it right
But I've tried, why?
When will it finally work?

I wanna live, I wanna dream
I long for the day I'll finally say
I DID IT! Not in the future but soon!
I want it to work.

It's possible and I know it
It's possible and I need to
FINALLY MAKE IT WORK!
