The Time Is Now

[Verse 1]
A fisherman sails
Comes back empty-handed
Currents have moved, the fish have left the bay
A town in Alaska
Falls in the ocean
Ice turns to mud, the future slides away
It's here and now, there's nothing more to say

[Verse 2]
Deeper today
Smoke on the forest
Scars on the mountain, the seas we sail asleep
Sharper today
Cracks in the ice field
The air we breathe, the tears we need to weep
We know too much to look thе other way

[Pre-Chorus]
The word we shout, thе walls we shake
The surge, nothing can hold it and the dam breaks—
You don't need me to show you how

[Chorus]
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is
The time is now

[Verse 3]
Higher today
The odds on a burn-out
Panic in boardrooms, pressure for delay
But under the leaves
Mother invention
Opens her eyes and counts another day
It's down to us, that's all she's got to say

[Pre-Chorus]
The paths we forge, the world we make
The step we never meant to, the brilliant mistake—
You don't need me to show you how

[Chorus]
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is
The time is now

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
The word we shout, the walls we shake
The surge, nothing can hold it and the dam breaks—
You don't need me to show you how

[Chorus]
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is (The time is now)
And we know what the time is
The time is now

[Outro]
The time is now
