Change
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights, battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And you use this chance to be heard
Your time is now (your time is now)

Change
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And you use this chance to be heard
Your time is now (your time is now)

Don't
Let yourself down
Don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Best
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And you use this chance to be heard
Your time is now (your time is now)

    I think this song is more about being an atheist that being a christian. Matt once said:

    "Being an atheist means you have to realise that when you die, that really is it. You've got to make the most of what you've got here and spread as much influence as you can. I believe that you only live through the influence that you spread, whether that means having a kid or making music".

    So the "your time is now" may refer to the fact that you only have a lifetime to spread your influence, being being the best and changing the world. I guess the "use this chance to be heard" refers to him as a musician, but it could refer to just about anything I suppose - as in being metaphorically "heard" by the universe.
