Now Is the Time
Now is the time to be asking the night,
under a cloudless sky lit by the moon,
when in the future will all things be right?
Now is the time to be asking how soon
war will be ended, and there will be peace
under a cloudless sky lit by the moon.
Now is the time to ask strivings to cease;
when, like the breeze, so gentle, scarce moving,
war will be ended, and there will be peace?
Now is the time to pray for improving
relations with nations who are at war.
When? Like the breeze, so gentle, scarce moving,
now is the time to want things as before,
value all lives and all men as brothers,
relations with nations who are at war.
Now, for the sake of loved ones and others,
now is the time to be asking the night,
valuing lives and all men as brothers:
when in the future will all things be right?
