Written by Matthew West
VERSE 1: E 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 A So I turned my eyes to Heaven E 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'' B A E He said, 'I did, I created you'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' (CHORUS) BRIDGE C#m We are the salt of the earth A E We are a city on a hill C#m But we're never gonna change the world A B By standing still B No we won't stand still No we won't stand still No we won't stand still (CHORUS)E If not us, then who If not me and you A E Right now, it's time for us to do something If not now, then when Will we see an end A To all this pain C#m A It's not enough to do nothing E It's time for us to do something
