[Verse 1]
Now is the man, oh, an angry bitter man
Who seldom spoke, now speaks of the day he can
Says he'll never come ashore again, the likes of you and me
But he's somewhere between the heavens and the deep blue sea

[Verse 2]
Now is the boy, oh, a happy, cheerful boy
Why should he care, why should he worry, but enjoy?
Ah, when mother, father drift apart, his club becomes his shield
And he's somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens and the deep blue sea

[Verse 3]
Now is the girl, oh, frustrated, gifted girl
"What will it take?," she says, "all I ask is to be heard"
But with her passion comes believing, this moment she's now seasoned
All we are is now, now is the time

[Bridge]
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
[Verse 4]
Now is the time, oh, don't begrudge ourselves this time
Just take a breath, my friend, take a second to unwind
And if I don't see you tomorrow, I'll think of you today
But now's the only reason to celebrate our grievin'
All we are is now, now is the time

[Refrain]
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time

[Outro]
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over (Now is the time)
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over (Now is the time)
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over (Now is the time)
But all is not yet over
Sometimes wish it all was over (Now is the time)
But all is not yet over
And we're somewhere between the heavens
Somewhere between the heavens
All we are is now, now is the time
