In this promised land
Fire burnin' 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
Make a move across the rubicon
Futures knockin' at your door
Take your time
And choose the road you want
Opportunity is yours
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
This song of the week can be heard on Frontiers.
""Rubicon"
continues along the lines of Escape's optimistic "Don't' Stop Believin'", but has a more sophisticated,
modern sound. (By crossing the Rubicon River in northern Italy to march against Pompey in 49BC, Julius Caesar
committed himself to conquer or die. Journey's call to "Make a move across the Rubicon" suggests a decisive, irrevocable step.)
