We can’t wait for tomorrow to come to change and make a stand in this world. The more time that passes us is the more time that is wasted in making a difference. Those of us that are willing to make our voice heard have to do it immediately and stop holding back. Holding back is hurting our world. Stop putting change behind you because you are scared to speak up. Reinforcement is a positive thing but sometimes we have to take chances to make this world a better place.

   

The first stanza in this song is also repeated as the final stanza in the song as well. The artist/writer of this piece wanted these specific lines to stand out and have a certain impact on the reader/listener:

 If you hear this message, wherever you stand

 I'm calling every woman, calling every man

 We're the generation

 We can't afford to wait

 The future started yesterday and we're already late.

Many of the stanzas in this song are repeated just as the first and last were stating that he wants to get his point across and have emphasis on everything he has to say. He makes a point to say everything he is saying is very important and needs to be paid close attention to.

The word ‘Now’ appears a numerous amount:

Tomorrow's starting now

Now, now
Oh now, now.

And that is repeated three times throughout the length of the song. Now is the time to stand. We/you have got to stop whispering today and make our voices heard. There is not enough time to wait. The pain and hurting and lack of change is due to our procrastinating and waiting to be the voice in the background. Don’t be the voice in the background, be the lead vocals. Don’t be afraid to stand your grounds and make a difference. People are waiting for you to shout out for them to also be heard.


If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody
Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same
Then go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

No more broken promises
No more call to war
Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy hunger
We can conquer hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

Oh I was looking for a song to sing
I searched for a leader
But the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes
Just go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

Oh now, now

If you're ready we can shake the world
Believe again
It starts within
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there
Ooooh
If you're out there
And you're ready now
Say it loud
Scream it out

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now

If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

Thank You John Legend.

She was born into this place considered to be such a twin to hell. Who’s to say that is such a bad situation to be put in? I guess it is all depends on how you think of it. Twins are known to be complete opposites with so many of the same features. That’s exactly to her what this world is. This sphere with land, humans, and bodies of waters, plus details and characteristics has personality, change, and such life. This figure with these lands, humans, waters, details, characteristics, personality, change, and life is so wrong, violent, painful, and destructive just as hell is known to be. She is living life to turn this place upside down and inside out. This twin to her is the opposite of hell but she knows that it all comes in due time and is not just handed to you on a golden plate. I wouldn’t say that she feels like she is in such a great and perfect environment just yet, but the closest thing she has experienced to it, for sure. Growing up in hate and anger led by abuse and loud voices, she now lives with likeness and content followed by treatment and soft tones, looking forward to living with love and happiness plus care and language. From childhood until adulthood she resided with what some would consider a family but who knew would consider a disaster. The basic needs for the most part were provided for: From Sikorski’s to for now her own safe home to the future of her own family. From being alone to for now figuring out who’s there and who’s not to the future of all loved ones who will always be there. From nightmares to for now dreams to the future of living the life. From frowns to for now smiles to a future of nothing but laughs. From nothing to for now something to the future of everything. From being poor to for now having just enough to get by plus a little to the future of being rich. From crying to for now speaking to the future of helping others. From a house to for now an apartment to the future of a home and family. From being misunderstood to for now the effort of people to the future of understanding. From being ugly to for now blooming to the future of beauty. From failure to for now trying to the future of success. From learning of God, to having a relationship with God, for a future of being an angel of God.
