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)
