Lyrics

Standing still at the edge of time

There waits a nation for that final sign,

Filled with dreams for the Land they know

The Home that they were promised long ago

Listen close and you’ll hear their song

It tells of how they waited for so long,

Yet they know that the day is near

There’s something in the air

That says

Chorus:

(^{second time} and) The time is now, so keep on trying

Here and now, there’s no denying,

What we could achieve

If we would only believe

One more Mitzvah is all that we need.

Can’t you tell it’s almost over

Any day we’ll hear that Shofar,

And then when we do

We’ll know that Golus is through,

We can do it

Now is the time...

Time goes by and the days are long

But we the Nation keep the faith that's strong,

Deep inside, it’s because we know

That very soon it will be time to go

Time to see why the world began

To know the end of that eternal plan,

All along it was meant to be

This is our destiny.

(Chorus)

Sound the call it’s almost over

One and all we’ll hear that shofar,

And then when we do

We’ll know that Golus is through,

We can do it

Listen world ^{in the album, it is sung "Listen well"}

The time is now!
