Well, I just could not 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 do not 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, it is time for us to do something, yeah If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain Oh, it is not enough to do nothing it is time for us to do something I am so tired of talking about How we are God hands and feet But it is easier to say than to be Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves it is alright, somebody else will do something Well, I do not know about you But I am sick and tired of life with no desire I do not want a flame, I want a fire and I wanna be the one who stands up and says I am gonna do something If not us, then who If not me and you Right now, it is time for us to do something, yes it is, come on If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain Oh oh, it is not enough to do nothing it is time for us to do something We are the salt of the earth We are a city on a hill We are never gonna change the world By standing still No, we will not stand still No, we will not stand still No, we will not stand still No If not us, then who If not me and you Right now it is time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain it is not enough to do nothing it is time for us to do something it is time for us to do something it is time for us to do something
