The time is now (unedited)

When those voices start coming

Full of doubt and fear and pain

Just let them pass by your ears

And forget they ever came

Don’t wait to find another

To inspire you to great things

Become it for all others

And prove what you can do

The world is only waiting

For you to come to see

That only you yourself

Can decide what you can be

Sing the song you want to hear,

Write the book you want to read,

Be the man you want to meet

And build the world you want to see

The past is gone forever

But your moment is now

Learn from the mistakes of the past

And build on its successes

Conquer all before you

All those once called great

Until they are nothing but pebbles

To the mountain you have made

And when you’ve built that mountain

Climb it to the very top

See the world beneath you

Ready for you to take

Bellow your name out

Loud and high and clear

So all the world will hear it

Ringing in their ears

And for now into the future

Not a single man shall live

Who won’t learn that you had come

To make the world your own

And all of mankind

From this time until the end

Will know the greatest men in history

Lived in our time
