Lyrics

Rubicon

[Verse 1]

In this promised land

Fire burning 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

Futures knocking at your door

Take your time

And choose the road you want

Opportunity is yours

[Verse 2]

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]
