This is the Time

It's a long path that brings us to where we are. Yet another cliche, but it's more about the journey than the destination. I'm pretty sure I have no idea where it is I am going, but right now I am where I need to be.

Today's tune comes, yet again from Savatage. From the album "Dead Winter Dead" a rather sad tale of the war in Sarajevo. This is right in the beginning of the story, so much hope, so many dreams and so much promise. The start of a journey.

This is the time...

Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands

And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads
And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid

But this is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

Yeah, yeah

We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned
And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn

But this is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

Yeah, yeah

This is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

Yeah, yeah


This really does ring true. No matter where I am, this is the time and this is the place because this is the one place I should be.
