(Am)It was a test we could all hope to pass,

choice (Dm7)to make.

(Dm7)This was her (C)time,

this was her (G)dance.

She lived ev ’ry (Am)mo ment, left noth in’ to (F)chance.

She swam in the (C)sea,

drank of the (G)deep,

em braced the (Am)mys ter y of all she could (F)be.

This was her (Am)time.

(Am)mys ter y of all she could (F)be.

What if to (C)mor row, and what if to (G)day,

faced with the (Am)ques tion, oh, what would you (F)say?

(F)This is your (C)time,

this is your (G)dance.

Live ev ’ry (Am)mo ment, leave noth in’ to (F)chance.

Swim in the (C)sea,

drink of the (G)deep, and fall on the (Am)mer cy and hear your self (C)pray

(F)ing,

“Won’t You (C)save
