In this promised land
fire burnin' in our hands
The choice is ours to make
realize your fantasy
You live the dream
with every step you take
Stand tall stand on the edge
use the thin end of the wedge
The will to cast your fate
don't turn around too late
Lose ground if we hesitate
burning youth won't wait
(chorus)
Make a move across the rubicon
the future's knockin' at your door
Take your time and
choose the road you want
Opportunity is yours
See it all so clear
time is right time is near
We know now what to do
All God's children learn
which way to turn
turning back we're through
We all refuse to lose
live life and light the fuse
burning youth won't wait
(chorus)
(instrumental)
