If I Own Today
One of Scott Alan's best-loved songs, this piece delivers a message of empowerment with the power that only a rockin' gospel ballad can give. Features a lengthy alto solo during the first verse and later for the final climatic ending. Great for graduations or baccalaureate ceremonies.

I'm walking towards nothing on this desolate road I'm searching for comfort, a place to call my own. I'm scared of where I'm heading when will this fear subside, when will I find the answers to the questions in my mind? Like, why the sky is blue, and why my heart's the same? And what I'm so afraid of if I own today? All I've ever wanted has sunk in the unknown, is lost and barricaded, longing to be shown. Safe away and guarded all my hopes and all my dreams, will they ever surface, will they ever be seen? The life that I have planned, the course I thought I'd take, can only be accomplished if I own today. If my life was different, if there was something I could change, I'd take half of my passion and turn it into strength. Then with my desire and the courage I have gained, I'd reach my destination and finally own I know I'd own tomorrow, if I own today. (Scott Alan)
