And the sun rises over the promised land Shining on the home of the brave and the free But sometimes we just don't shine like you know we can Sometimes it just not the way it ought to be... And now we've got the great divide But everybody's on this ride and... (chorus) Right now, we got nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh I said, right now, nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh Right now... There's a time and a place for every little thing And the time and the place is now Everybody's got a song they wanna hear ring Comin' down to a question of how And everybody's chosing sides But everybody's on this ride and... (chorus) Right now, we got nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh I said, right now, nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh Right now, we got nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh Right now, nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh Right now... Take your phony hallelujahs and put 'em all away 'Cause what you reap is what you sow Gonna take a whole lot more come the judgment day, yeah When you're one on one with the great unknown Forget about your foolish pride 'Cause everybody's on this ride and... (chorus) Right now, we got nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh I said, right now, nothing and everything Nothing and everything to prove...ooh, ooh, ooh Right now... (to fade)
