歌词
.
I woke up this morning
这个清晨我从睡梦中醒来
Saw a world full of trouble now
看见这个满目疮痍的世界
Thought, how'd we ever get so far down
不禁疑惑为什么这个世界如此糟糕
How's it ever gonna turn around
这一切该由谁来挽救
So I turned my eyes to Heaven
所以我将目光投向天穹
I thought, God, why don't You do something?
想着，上帝，为何你不出面拯救这一切？
.
我无法忍受看到
Well, I just couldn't bear the thought of
人们在贫困中挣扎
People living in poverty
孩子被枷锁奴役
Children sold into slavery
这每一幕都让我心生痛苦厌恶
The thought disgusted me
所以我握拳朝向天穹
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
说道，上帝，为何你不做些什么？
Said, God, why don't You do something?
他答道，我已经做了，我创造了你
.
He said, I did, I created you
如果不由我们，那还会有谁？
.
如果不由你和我发声，那还会有谁？
If not us, then who
就是现在，你我是该做些什么了
If not me and you
如果不是现在，更待何时？
Right now, it's time for us to do something
我们是否能看到那美好的未来
If not now, then when
来终结这一切苦难
Will we see an end
别再冷眼旁观
To all this pain
是时候由你我去做些什么了
It's not enough to do nothing
It's time for us to do something
我已经厌倦了那陈词滥调
.
说我们是上帝的子民
I'm so tired of talking
嘴上说说总是比行动容易
About how we are God's hands and feet
总是活得如同一尊圣母般
But it's easier to say than to be
说着一切总会好的，会有人站出来发声的
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
It's alright, somebody else will do something
我不知道你是怎样想的
.
但我已经厌倦了这种没有追求的生活
Well, I don't know about you
我不奢求那明光，只愿求得一支火把
But I'm sick and tired of life with no desire
我想要成为那个站起来的人
I don't want a flame, I want a fire
勇敢地说我要做些什么
I wanna be the one who stands up and says,
I'm gonna do something
如果不由我们，那还会有谁？
.
如果不由你和我发声，那还会有谁？
If not us, then who
就是现在，你我是该做些什么了
If not me and you
如果不是现在，更待何时？
Right now, it's time for us to do something
我们是否能看到那美好的未来
来终结这一切苦难
If not now, then when
别再冷眼旁观
Will we see an end
是时候由你我去做些什么了
To all this pain
It's not enough to do nothing
我们如土地的颗粒那般渺小
It's time for us to do something
我们如悬崖之际的城市那般脆弱
.
但我们永远都不能靠沉默匿迹
We are the salt of the earth
来改变这个世界
We are a city on a hill
我们不会沉默
But we're never gonna change the world
我们不会退缩
By standing still
我们不会静默的观望着
No we won't stand still
No we won't stand still
如果不由我们，那还会有谁？
No we won't stand still, no
如果不由你和我发声，那还会有谁？
.
就是现在，你我是该做些什么了
If not us, then who
如果不是现在，更待何时？
If not me and you
我们是否能看到那美好的未来
Right now, it's time for us to do something
来终结这一切苦难
If not now, then when
别再冷眼旁观
Will we see an end
是时候由你我去做些什么了
To all this pain
是时候由你我去做些什么了
Well it's not enough to do nothing
It's time for us to do something
是时候由你我去做些什么了
It's time for us to do something
.
It's time for us to do something
