The emotional energy is great and very honest. Goes inside very deep. Thank you!

Lovely tune, beautifully sung. I hope you do figure it all out!

So polished - like a smooth mahogany dresser! 🍀

[Verse 1]
Edison lit up the night, Einstein bent space and time,
Fleming found a way to heal, Crick and Watson cracked the line.
Salk’s vaccine saved the world, Hubble saw the stars expand,
Curie’s hands held fire and gold, dreams were drawn into the sand.

[Pre-Chorus]
But what if there’s more waiting to be found?
A secret hiding deep underground?
Maybe the answer’s in the air we breathe,
And maybe that answer comes from me…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

[Verse 2]
Tesla dreamed of power free, flight was born from sand and sea,
The moon was just a distant light, 'til Armstrong took that giant leap.
The double helix held the key, the microchip rewrote our fate,
But somewhere there’s a lock unseen, and I was born to turn the gate.

[Pre-Chorus]
What if there’s a cure just beyond our reach?
A melody the universe wants to teach?
If Newton saw the apple fall,
Then maybe I can hear the call…

[Chorus]
Why not me? Why not now?
A spark of light, I’ll figure it out.
Maybe I’ll find the endless stream,
Or cure the pain inside a dream.
The world keeps turning, time won’t wait,
History’s calling, I won’t hesitate—
Why not me?
Oh, why not me?


[Outro]
Somewhere in the great unknown,
A light is waiting to be shown.

Why not me?
Oh, why not me?

Why Not Me?
