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!
