The Time is Right
Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)
The time is right for a pause
Time is right to think about the reason or the cause
Peace or chaos entertains one and all
They are the side effects of a trumpeted grand rise or a drum roll for the final fall
Take this time to formulate a scam or a grand plan
It’s all about the situation at hand
Win or lose, trumpet or drum roll, victory or defeat
The time is right to stand tall or just take a seat
The time is right to suffer wrong or right now
Does one steal a sip of or take drink of the milk or does one buy the cow
Is a bird in hand better than getting the two left in the bush
The time is right to stand fast or do you need to be pushed
Make a choice to raise one's voice in order to be heard
The time is right to use some action verbs
The time is right for a pause
Time is right to think about the reason or the cause
