Lyrics:
Now is the time,
The time to live,
No other time is real.
Yesterday has gone,
Tomorrow is a guess,
Today you can see and feel.
You can feel the wind from the fresh, green sea,
You can smell the salt in the spray.
Now is the time,
The time of your life,
The time of your life is today!

With heav'nly wine
>From an earth-born vine
To caress your lips when you're dry,
With food to eat
>From a field made sweet
By the sun and the rain from the sky,
Why flee in fear
Of a future year
And accept defeat with a bow?
While your limbs are sound,
While your pulses bound,
You can conquer the future now!

Now!
Now is the time,
The time to act,
No other time will do.
Live and play your part
And give away your heart
And take what the world gives you.
Let your arms get rich on the gold of love,
When the gold of love comes your way.
Now is the time,
The time of your life,
The time of your life is today!
