Now is the time
The time to act

Don't give away your heart
Don't take what the world gives you
Now is the time

No other time is real!
Yesterday has gone
Tomorrow is a guess
Today you can see and feel
For you can't just wait
To be served by fate
On a silver plate or a tray

Now is the time
The time of your life
The time of your life is today
