The road stretches before us now
And we're set to go
As light fades from the sky we start to see
A choice taken a promise broken you never know
The world's watching and everyone can see
You've said it a thousand times and more
How could we know
Exactly where we're meant to be

This is the time and this is the place
And this is what we're feeling
Your hand in mine a great leap of faith
And we could learn the meaning

So often we could've helped but we turned away
A mountain filled with empty yesterdays
We've thought it a thousand times and more
How could we know
Exactly why we're here today

This is the time and this is the place
And this is what we're feeling
Your hand in mine a great leap of faith
And we could learn the meaning

This is the time and this is the place
And this is what we're feeling
Your hand in mine a great leap of faith
And we could learn the meaning

When half the world is giving
The other half is taking
When half the world is breathing
The other's suffocating
When half the world is screaming
The other half is kneeling praying
See the whole world free
See the whole world free
See the whole world free...free

This is the time and this is the place
And this is what we're feeling
Your hand in mine a great leap of faith
And we could learn the meaning

This is the time and this is the place
And this is what we're feeling
Your hand in mine a great leap of faith
And we could learn the meaning
