LYRICS
Now is Your Time

Sometimes a diamond
Looks like a stone
The world just spins by
and leaves it alone

But to those who can find it
The riches it brings
Much more than money
Or big diamond rings

You were just waiting
For your chance to shine
Out of the rough
Into the Light
Now, is your time!

No longer a boy now
But not yet a man
We'll know you'll get there
as fast as you can

Cause the road you are riding
It’s easy to fall
With God inside you
You’ll get over the wall

Don’t fear the future
It’ll be just fine
Out of the rough
Into the Light
Now, is your time!

Forget the rainbow
Forget the gold
The colors all fade away
The glitter grows old

The song inside you
It's ready to rhyme!
Out of the rough
Into the light
Now is your time
