Watching in silence, I hesitate: it was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: it was out of our hands
And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads
And though in the dark we 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 and this is the one place to be
Yeah, yeah
We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned
And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn
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 and this is the one place to be
Yeah, yeah
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 and this is the one place to be
Yeah, yeah
And a wind came across europe
That would twist and turn our fate
For as well as bringing freedom
It had let loose men of hate
Now these men were few in number
And the people threw them out
But in the mind of each man's neighbor
They had planted seeds of doubt
