Now is the time
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
We've got to change our lives
To make a difference, I'm calling all husbands, all wives
Words are no longer enough
We've got to take action, to show people what it means to love
The world needs a new paradigm
And now is the time
Now is the time for you to find the spirit
Now is the time to find your voice and let others hear it
Now is the time for the world to know your name
Now is the time, for nothing to ever be the same
Now is the time, to change the way you live
Now is the time, to rearrange the negative, to make this life a positive
I've got to look at the man inside
Reevaluate my priorities, let go of my pride
Figure out what this life has in store
Something deep within says I'm meant for so much more
The world needs a new paradigm
We can't wait any longer, now is the time
Now is the time for you to find the spirit
Now is the time to find your voice and let others hear it
Now is the time for the world to know your name
Now is the time, for nothing to ever be the same
Now is the time, to change the way you live
Now is the time, to rearrange the negative, to make this life a positive
No one man is an island
All you can do is look at yourself, smile and
Find the will to change your destiny
Only you can change you successfully
No one can do it for you
Just find the strength within to pull yourself through
There's no wall too high, no mountain you can't climb
The world needs a new paradigm
Now is the time for you to find the spirit
Now is the time to find your voice and let others hear it
Now is the time for the world to know your name
Now is the time, for nothing to ever be the same
Now is the time, to change the way you live
Now is the time, to rearrange the negative, to make this life a positive
I've seen so much desperation in the hearts of so many
I've seen struggle in so many nations
Begging for peace but haven't been shown any
But I still believe we're all in this together, one people one planet
If we set aside our differences, we'd realize we can find pleasure, and make the best of the life we've been handed
