Blink Now serves as a reminder to become clear on what’s most important to us and keep our energy focused on it daily. If we listen to our elders, life happens in the blink of an eye and no one wants to live with regret. If we blink now, we might miss it.

LYRICS
If you, blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Life has so much flavour
When you love it
So discover it
If you’re willing and you’re able
To take the risk
Set your table for it
Remember to follow your heart
If it scares the daylights out of you
You’re off to a good start
If you, blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Life has so much colour
When you see it
You won’t believe it
If you’ve got faith in understanding
You can leap past your fears
And trust you’ll stick a perfect landing
Remember to follow your heart
If it scares the daylights out of you
You’re off to a good start
If you, blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Life is so much shorter
When you enjoy it
I still find it strange that it works that way
If you’re feeling stuck
Take a good hard look
At your surroundings, your environment, at yourself in the mirror
‘cause you are enough
You were created tough
In the image of unlimited strength and love
If you blink now, you might miss it
If you blink now
If you, blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
And get up now
Blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
Get up now
Blink now
Forever hold your dying wish
When you set your goal
Don’t give up on it
Remind yourself every morning, noon, and night
I was born for this and it’s worth the fight
Blink now, you might miss it
Blink now, you might miss it
Blink now, you might miss it
You might miss it

Kitchener, Ontario-native John Maksym spent his childhood jumping on furniture, singing along to every Springsteen hit. He
would don a red cape and pretend to be on the big stage, entertaining the masses. Fast forward and that kid has become a well-respected recording artist, songwriter, and performer—trading in his red cape for a fresh jacket, and hitting those big stages to entertain the masses....more
Scott Sellars is formerly the frontman in the incredible fast-melodic California based punk rock band RUFIO! His band was a huge influence on me in high school and this album is just beautifully done! John Maksym
