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 shook my fist at Heaven
Said, “God, why don´t You do something?”
He said, “I did, I created you”

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

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
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 (shine shine, shine shine)
But 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 [x3]
