If Not Now

[Verse 1] It's a splinter in the mind, a whisper in the heart A feeling something's missing, some crucial little part It's business that's unfinished, a reckoning that’s due If not now, then when? If not us, then who? [Verse 2] It's a simple proposition to join the new and old A chance to make our country larger in its soul It's an invitation offered to set our course anew If not now, then when? If not us, then who? [Chorus] How long can we keep walking with this stone in our shoe? If not now, then when? If not us, then who? We may never get another chance like this again If not us, thеn who? If not now, then when? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Too many falling far behind, shut out of thе deal If you called and no-one heard you, imagine how you'd feel This land was never given, it was taken and then sold But its ancient songs and stories are a gift greater than gold [Chorus] Oh, the status quo is busted, let's stop kicking that old can If not us, then who? If not now, then when? It's business that's unfinished, high time to see it through If not now, then when? If not us, then who?
