I woke up this morning Saw a world full of trouble now Thought, howd we ever get so far down Hows it ever gonna turn around So I turned my eyes to Heaven I thought, “God, why dont You do something?” Well, I just couldnt 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 dont You do something?” He said, “I did, I created you” If not us, then who If not me and you Right now, its time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end To all this pain Its not enough to do nothing Its time for us to do something Im so tired of talking About how we are Gods hands and feet But its easier to say than to be Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves Its alright, “somebody else will do something” Well, I dont know about you But Im sick and tired of life with no desire I dont want a flame, I want a fire I wanna be the one who stands up and says, Im gonna do something” We are the salt of the earth We are a city on a hill But were never gonna change the world By standing still No we wont stand still No we wont stand still No we wont stand still Publishing: Songs of Southside Independent Music Publishing / External Combustion Music / Songs for Delaney (ASCAP) Writer(s): Matthew West
