The Time Is Now

Lyrics

Africa's in the neighborhood World at our fingertips For all the lessons understood So little consciousness Somebody's child is thrown away Sleeps in a salvage yard How could she be at seventeen So solitary hard The time is now The time is now You know the time is now Say, can you see the refugee Hearing the Lady cry "Give me the ones who long to be Free tonight", does she lie Streets of Beijing, the students fell Must've been just your age Losing their lives for liberty But losing their lives the same The time is now The time is now You know the time is now Who is oppressed and who is free And who has just gone to sleep Wake me the day the Kingdom comes When we shall be released The time is now The time is now You know the time is now The time is now The time is now Oh, the time is now
