Lyrics for Perfect Time

Time Now is the perfect time (oh) Please wake me up before you go (hey), hurry up and wait Now run like the wind, make your escape (make your escape) But don't you look back, or you'll turn to dust (dust) We're going nowhere, come follow us (baby, come and follow us) No mountain's too high, be faithful, then leap Or do nothing at all, just die in your sleep You have every right to take your own life I was thinking about leaving while God is sleeping (What time is it?) Now is a perfect time (Now is the perfect time) But I do understand why you're afraid of the future I'd go back in time, try and change your mind You'll be a martyr for all of mankind But once you're in hell, don't be afraid Try to keep cool with the decision you made Or wait on Christ to save your life You haven't seen Him once, and you won't see Him twice Oh, kill for fun 'til the thrill is done But business is business, the deal is done Now is a perfect time Oh, Lord (now is the perfect time) Go ahead and talk to yourself while you look in the mirror Perfect time to make things happen (ooh, yeah) Perfect time to be born (uh-huh) Perfect time to keep on living (living) Perfect time to move on (oh, yeah) The perfect time to help a stranger (oh) The perfect time to make friends (mm) The perfect time to ask for forgiveness 'Cause anytime life ends (oh, oh, yeah) The perfect time to turn off your TV (oh, yeah) The perfect time for no phone (uh-huh, oh) The perfect time to break out of prison (time) The perfect time to go home The perfect time to lose your religion (yeah) The perfect time to be odd (ooh, ooh) The perfect time to do all you've wanted Before you go and see God, yes
