The Time Is Now Lyrics

Looking over razor wire at what I want, my heart's desire.

I turn my back away from what is standing beside of me.

Maybe one day I could be the one,

shaking their heads as they close the blind.

Turn around, where have you gone?

How long have I been here alone?

The time is now, the time is now.

Keep your head down, don't look behind.

The time is now, don't give it away.

Don't turn around, keep moving ahead.

The time is now, the time is now.

Roots digging into stone, rocks forming out of bone.

We're not irrelevant, this is our moment.

The furrow deep on the monastery step.

The gorge of the valley depth.

We got nothing to lose, we're out of here soon.

The time is now, the time is now.

Keep your head down, don't look behind.

The time is now, don't give it away.

Don't turn around, keep moving ahead.

The time is now, the time is now.

Time Trader. Time Trader. Time Trader. Time Trader.

I'll trade an hour staring at your palm,

for a second more in my mother's arms.

I'd give the dying man some of mine.

To make amends and say goodbye.
