The time is now to live your life,

To spread your wings and learn to fly.

Now is not the time to live in strife.

To your past troubles, say goodbye.

The time is now to start anew,

To do everything you wanted to do.

Now is the time for your debut.

Give them someone to look up to.

The time is now for 20 seconds

Of crazy bravery that changes everything.

Your new life stands there and beckons

For you to drop it all and do anything.

The time is now to chase your dreams,

To do the thing you never thought could be.

The possibilities are bursting at the seams,

This is your chance to be free.

The time is now to love yourself,

But make sure to love everybody else.

Don't put your dreams up on the shelf,

Or I'll come to deal with you myself.

The time is now to be alive,

To take in the beauty that is life.

It is today in which you thrive,

So do us all a favor and put down the knife.
