The Time is Now

You live in a cage with an open door;

Fear papers your walls and carpets your floor.

The time has passed for you to learn how to fly

But each time I push you turn your back on the sky

What is it you fear that keeps you inside?

I’m tired of watching you run off and hide.

 Every time I want to set you free

You harden your heart and refuse to see.

I am the I AM, who always will be

I am the answer, but you are the key

Why won’t you trust Me? You praise so strong—

Your hands are raised, you know every song.

Yet you’re content in your box, refusing to stretch out;

What comes from your life isn’t what comes from your mouth.

The time is past, you’ve used every excuse

I’ve given you all you need to cut yourself loose

It’s time to rise up, it’s time to be free

It’s time to find out who you should be.

I am the I AM, who always will be

I am the answer, but you are the key

There’s people around you drowning in need

They’re up to their necks, struggling to breathe

I need you to be one who sees and who hears

Then brings them to life and destroys all their fears.

I am the I AM, who always will be

I am the answer, but you are the key
