LYRICS
I woke up this morn ing, saw a world full of trou ble, now.
I thought, “How’d we ev er get so far down, and how’s it ev er gon na turn a round?” So I (Asus2)turned my eyes to heav en.
I thought, “God, why don’t You do some thing?”
Well, I just could n’t bear the thought of peo ple liv ing in pov er ty and chil dren sold in to slav er y.
The thought dis gust ed me, so I shook my fist at heav en.
I said, “God, why don’t You do some thing?”
He said, “I (F#m7)did.”
Yeah.
“I cre at ed (E)you.”

Some bod y else ’ll (E7)do some thing.”
Well, I don’t know a bout you, but I’m sick and ti red of life with no de si re.
I don’t want a flame; I want a fi re.
I wan na be the one who stands up and says, “I’m gon na (E7)do some thing!”
some thing.
We are the salt of the earth, we are a cit y on a hill.
(Shine, shine.
Shine, shine.)
But we’re nev er gon na change the world by stand ing (B)still.
No, we won’t stand still.
No, we won’t stand still.
No, we won’t stand still,
