lyrics

If only we could never age / And live forever too
And all our friends would never change / Stay young and beautiful
And we could roam without a care / And all the animals, too
And travel, dine, like Anthony Bourdain / From France to Timbuktu

(chorus:)
It’s time to laugh at any strife / To realize our schemes
It’s time to do what ere we want / And make our dreams come true

Let’s sing and dance and show no fear. /. When challenges seem dire
And stay resourceful, come what may. /. Earthquakes, floods, or fire
It’s time to stay away from those / who claim that hope has died
The sceptics, cynics, ne’er-do-wells / Who stay inside and hide

(chorus:)
It’s time to laugh at any strife / To realize our schemes
It’s time to do what ere we want. /. And make our dreams come true

Avoid the news, stay off the tube, and dare to sing aloud
And go as far as you can go / Far from the madding crowd
If only seas and lakes were clear / and forests filled with deer
And SRL could have a show / every other year

(chorus:)
It’s time to venture boldly forth / Imagine endlessly
It’s time to wear your boldest clothes. / And Walk So Confidently
Make Your Dreams Come True
