Lyrics

I woke up this morning Saw a world full of trouble now Thought, how'd we ever get so far down 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 Children sold into slavery The thought disgusted me So, I shot my fist at heaven Said, God, why don't You do something? He said, I did, I created you Now listen 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 Oh, it's not enough to do nothing It's time for us to do something Na-na, na Na-na, na Na-na, na Na-na, na 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 wanna 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, c'mon If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain 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 a 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 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 It's not enough to do nothing It's time for us to do something (na-na, na) It's time for us to do something It's time for us to do something (na-na, na)
