The Time Is Now

Are you ready for the start?
Is your heart in the fight for the right
to defend to the end all we love?
Will you meet the final test
with the best at your hand,
for the Land that we've made
with the aid of God above?

[chorus]
The Time Is Now, The Time Is Now,
It's time to heed the writin' on the wall
For the world won't wait,
since Fate set the date and the time
The Time Is Now
Oh that Yankee Do or Die
is on the go again
And they'll see a mighty (the damdest) show again,
The curtain's going up!
Can't you hear that call, That call to give your all,
(When we ring that bell, We'll send them all to hell!)
And the time The Time Is Now
The Time Is Now
The Time Is Now
