NO TIME LIKE NOW- Benny Friedman- Composed By Chaya Neuhaus- Single 2018

See that guy, passing by, looking kinda low
Something tough has got him down, what’s on his mind- who knows
But what if I just walk right over and throw an arm around his shoulder
‘Looks like you could use a hand, I am here for you, my friend’.

Lying in that bed for days, the view can’t be too grand
But lookin’ up, there’s that face that cares to understand
What if just by volunteering, the little part of me I’m sharing
Can brighten up the bleakest day’ I’m here for you”- that’s all I got to say.

Some deep determination is all that’s really needed
Go on and make the first move, already you’ve succeeded
Dive right in, throw caution to the wind and it’ll all fall into place.

CHORUS:
When we just stop and take a look around and focus on another
Got to seize the opportunity to be there for a brother
Don’t need no excuses, just say “When” or “Where” or “How”
‘Cause if there’s a will then we can find a way, and there’s no time like now.

A listening ear, a piping meal, an invited place to stay
A moment spent can be Heaven-sent, that’s really all it takes
Klal Yisroel needs you to step up, Ahavas Yisroel should never let up
Nothing could stop you or a-block you, a-once your mind’s made up.

‘Cause a Yid’s true calling is to live a life of gifting
When someone else is falling, get in and do some lifting
Everyone’s got something inside to make a world of good come alive.

CHORUS:
When we just stop and take a look around and focus on another
Got to seize the opportunity to be there for a brother
Don’t need no excuses, just say “When” or “Where” or “How”
‘Cause if there’s a will then we can find a way, and there’s no time like now.

It brings this bright excitement to your eyes, it’s a different kind of scene
‘Cause when you lend a hand or share a word, you’re energized by this whole new way of being
Just open yourself up to the possibilities
When you give of yourself to help somebody else and be the person you can be.

Now you know, you gotta keep giving
Now that is truly is called living
Time is short so don’t give up this test.

CHORUS:
When we just stop and take a look around and focus on another
Got to seize the opportunity to be there for a brother
Don’t need no excuses, just say “When” or “Where” or “How”
‘Cause if there’s a will then we can find a way, and there’s no time like now.

And there’s no time like now.
