Do Something

Do Something

(album: Into The Light - 2012)

I woke up this morning
Saw a world full of trouble now
I thought, "How'd we ever get so far down?"
And "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,
I said, "God, why don't 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.
Well, 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.
Yes, it is. Come on.
If not now, then when?
Will we see an end
To all this pain?
Well, 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.
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. No!

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.
It's time for us to do something.
It's time for us to do something.
