Now is the time
To climb up the mountain
And reason against habit,
Now is the time.
Now is the time,
to renew the barren soil of nature
Ruined by the winds of tyranny.
Now is the time.
Now is the time,
To commence the litany of hope,
Now is the time….
Now is the time,
To give me roses, not to keep them
For my grave to come,
Give them to me while my heart beats,
Give them today
While my heart yearns for jubilee,
Now is the time….
