Now is the Time

Now is the Time to set aside our past

Now is the Time to forget who came last

Now is the Time to forget our woes and dance towards our Future

Now is the Time to Remember We are best when we Invest

Now is the Time to Invest in each other sister and brother

Now is the Time for Hope and to get off the ropes

Now is the Time to Forgive one another for we are sister and brother

Now is the Time to Dream our dreams together

Now is the Time to Laugh and Sing and Dance

Now is the Time to Dare to Better than we ever hoped

Now is the Time to Rope a Dope any difficulties and rebuild our cities

Now is the Time to plan the route ahead to be positive and strong

Now is the Time to have Confidence that nothing will go wrong

Now is the Time to reach out to Sister and Brother and our Mothers

Now is the Time for the family that is the United States of America

For WE are family, the red, the white and the blue and stars too

Let us bring our shared Future into view

Let us not allow anything to dampen our Hopes no matter who won our votes

For it is only together that we can once again reach for the stars

Our aspirations show the world who we are

All our hopes and dreams unite this United States of America

Together we will sing together and wing our way back to the stars

Back to the Stars which prove we are one United States of America

Sing America Sing and Fear Not what the Future might bring

For we are family the family United, United States of America
