I woke up this morning

Saw a world full of trouble now

I thought, "How'd we ever get so far down?"

And "How's it ever gonna turn around?"

So I turned my eyes to Heaven

I thought "God, why don't You do something?"

Well, I just couldn't bear the thought of

People living in poverty and

Children sold into slavery

The thought disgusted me

So I shook my fist at Heaven

I said, "God, why don't You do something?"

He said, "I did", yeah, "I created you"

(Now listen)

If not us then who?

If not me and you?

Right now, well, it's time for us to do something

If not now, then when will we see an end to all this pain?

Well, it's not enough to do nothing

It's time for us to do something

I'm so tired of talking about how we are God's hands and feet, but

It's easier to say than to be

Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves

"It's alright, somebody else will do something"

Well, I don't know about you

But I'm sick and tired of life with no desire

I don't want a flame, I want a fire

I want to be the one who stands up and says

"I'm gonna do something"

If not us, then who?

If not me and you?

Right now, it's time for us to do something, yes it is

If not now, then when will we see an end to all this pain?

Well, it's not enough to do nothing

It's time for us to do something

We are the salt of the earth

We are a city on the hill

We're never gonna change the world by standing still

No, we won't stand still

No, we won't stand still

No, we won't stand still

No

If not us, then who?

If not me and you?

Right now, it's time for us to do something

If not now, then when will we see an end to all this pain?

Well, it's not enough to do nothing

It's time for us to do something

It's time for us to do something

It's time for us to do something
