If Not Now

If not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

We may never see this moment

Or place in time again

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

I see sorrow and trouble in this land

I see sorrow and trouble in this land

Although there will be struggle

We'll make the change we can

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

We may never see this moment

Or place in time again

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

I may never see the Promised Land

I may never see the Promised Land

And yet we'll take the journey

And we'll walk it hand in hand

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

We may never see this moment

Or place in time again

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

We'll work it 'til it's done

Every daughter, every son

Every soul that ever longed for something better

Something brighter

And it will take a change of heart for this to mend

It will take a change of heart for this to mend

But miracles do happen every shining now and then

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

If not now, tell me when?

We may never see this moment

Or place in time again

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

And miracles do happen every shining now and then

If not now, if not now, tell me when?

If not now, if not now, tell me when?
