The Time Is Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A fisherman sails Comes back empty-handed Currents have moved, the fish have left the bay A town in Alaska Falls in the ocean Ice turns to mud, the future slides away It's here and now, there's nothing more to say [Verse 2] Deeper today Smoke on the forest Scars on the mountain, the seas we sail asleep Sharper today Cracks in the ice field The air we breathe, the tears we need to weep We know too much to look thе other way [Pre-Chorus] The word we shout, thе walls we shake The surge, nothing can hold it and the dam breaks— You don't need me to show you how [Chorus] And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is The time is now [Verse 3] Higher today The odds on a burn-out Panic in boardrooms, pressure for delay But under the leaves Mother invention Opens her eyes and counts another day It's down to us, that's all she's got to say [Pre-Chorus] The paths we forge, the world we make The step we never meant to, the brilliant mistake— You don't need me to show you how [Chorus] And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is The time is now [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] The word we shout, the walls we shake The surge, nothing can hold it and the dam breaks— You don't need me to show you how [Chorus] And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is (The time is now) And we know what the time is The time is now [Outro] The time is now
