The only time is now;
your thoughts and prayers and plans
imagining the future won’t
get you out of quicksand.
short measure
It’s movement that you need.
Look down – there at your feet,
is where you start out to the street.
You’ll need both strength and speed.
hymnal stanza
For the battle isn’t out somewhere,
waiting as your courage grows.
No, it’s here. You’ve haven’t got the time
for might-have-beens or clever told-you-sos.
long measure
What you believe is worth your living for –
that’s what’s at stake right now. Make no delay;
without you, its survival chance is poor.
The time is now. There is no other day.
long hymnal stanza
