Mellencamp Does One

There's a moment when a man, hopefully, makes a decision to forge ahead, picking up the rock that his father had been carrying for years and years. I remember hearing this song for the first time. I was on a drive on Route 19 heading towards Ithaca. The words hit me hard.

Your Life is Now


Your Life is Now by John Mellencamp

See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your father's days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise
'Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives

In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do

In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
