Verse 1B
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
E
So I turned my eyes to Heaven
B
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?”
F#EB
He said, “I did, I created you”
ChorusB
If not us, then who
If not me and you
EB
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
E
To all this pain
G#mE
It’s not enough to do nothing
B
It’s time for us to do something
Verse 2
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”
(TO Chorus)
BridgeG#m
We are the salt of the earth
EB
We are a city on a hill
G#m
But we’re never gonna change the world
EF#
By standing still
F#
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still
(TO Chorus)
