Now Is The Time

(album: Anthem - 2022)

Now is the man
Oh, an angry bitter man
Who seldom spoke
Now speaks of the day he can
Says he'll never come ashore again
The likes of you and me
But he's somewhere between the heavens
And the deep blue sea

Now is the boy
Oh, a happy cheerful boy
Why should he care?
Why should he worry but enjoy?
Ah, when mother, father drift apart
His club becomes his shield
And he's somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens and the deep blue sea

Now is the girl
Oh, frustrated, gifted girl
"What will it take?", she says
All I ask is to be heard
But with her passion comes believing
This moment she's now seasoned
All we are is now
Now is the time

Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over

Now is the time
Oh, don't begrudge yourselves this time
Just take a breath, my friend
Take a second to unwind
And if I don't see you tomorrow
I'll think of you today
But now's the only reason
To celebrate our grieving
All we are is now
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time

Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over (now is the time)
But all is not yet over (now is the time)
Sometimes wish it all was over (now is the time)
But all is not yet over (now is the time)

And we're somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens
All we are is now
And now is the time
