Until Now
Until Now is a modern bluegrass song about the quiet moment when a man finally sees his own life with honest eyes. Looking back on years spent chasing success, pride, and empty roads, he realizes that the greatest things he ever had were the ones he took for granted. Each chorus begins with the words "Until now," marking another piece of truth he was too blind to see before.
Rather than dwelling on regret, the song is about redemption. It's the story of someone who accepts responsibility for his mistakes, learns from them, and chooses to walk a different path. Set against the timeless sound of banjo, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, and acoustic guitar, Until Now is a heartfelt reminder that it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be.

Lyrics
*(Verse 1)*
I chased every road beneath the sun
Always thought the race was won
Left good memories standing still
Just to climb another hill
*(Pre-Chorus)*
Funny what the years allow
To finally show a man somehow
***(Chorus)***
**Until now** I never knew
Love could feel this deep and true
I held diamonds in my hands
Thinking they were grains of sand
**Until now** I couldn't see
What your heart was giving me
All the things I searched to find
Were waiting there the whole long time
---
*(Verse 2)*
I wore pride just like a crown
Never thought it'd drag me down
Every hard word that I let fly
Left another bridge to die
*(Pre-Chorus)*
Truth can take the longest road
Before it lifts a heavy load
***(Chorus)***
**Until now** I've been a fool
Breaking every simple rule
Strength ain't always standing tall
Sometimes it's admitting all
**Until now** I understand
Love ain't something you command
It's a fire you have to tend
Every day until the end
---
*(Verse 3)*
Every mile I walked alone
Never really felt like home
Every morning looked the same
Just another different name
*(Pre-Chorus)*
Now I know what mattered most
Was never what I chose to boast
***(Chorus)***
**Until now** I just survived
Never really felt alive
Breathing's not the same as living
Life begins with true forgiving
**Until now** I never knew
How much I was missing you
Funny how one open door
Shows what life was really for
---
*(Bridge)*
Yesterday won't turn around
Broken glass stays on the ground
But these hands can build again
One small promise, one amen
---
***(Final Chorus)***
**Until now** I've seen the light
Shining through my stubborn pride
Every step from here I take
Is another chance to change
**Until now** I thought I'd lost
Everything worth paying for
Now I know my story's new
Every page starts... **until now.**
