This Is The Time (1990) lyrics

Watching in silence I hesitate
It was not in the plan
All of our lives we could Only wait
It was not in our hands
And every war where we took the day
They were all in our head
And though in the dark we could dream at night
They were better unsaid
But this is the time
And this is the place
And these are the signs
That we must embrace
The moment is now
In all history
The time has arrived
This is the one place to be
We placed our years in the hourglass
They were never unearned
Still we seemed destined to watch them pass
It was never our turn
But this is the time
And this is the place
And those are the years
That we must erase
The moment is now
In all history
If we had to choose
This is the one place to be
