Lyrics
The Time is Now
We can go on waiting until waiting is all that we can do
I can go on hoping that there?s something going on with me and you
Nothing?s stopping us from living in the moment we?ve been given
Nothing else is real but feeling, touching, loving, being.
And the time is now
The time is now
Play it safe and you won?t get hurt and you won?t get much of anything
Stick your neck out and your crown may crack or they may crown you as their king
Nothing?s stopping you from living in the moment you?ve been given
Nothing else is real but feeling, touching, loving, being.
And the time is now
The time is now (2x)
We may be headed for heaven, or it might be hell
But we are here right now, and that is all that we can tell
And the time is now
The time is now (2x)
We can go on waiting until waiting is all that we can do
I can go on hoping that there?s something going on with me and you
