Now or Never
If life leaves us with loveless laughter
Who will be there to hold on after?
If my heart skips a beat just to fall down under
Who will be left to comfort the rolling thunder?
These are the questions we must ask
This is not an easy task
But someone’s got to do them
Someone’s got to do them
If not me and not you, who?
If not now and if not then, when?
This will continue until endless dawn
Stand up if you prove me wrong.
I’m not telling you what is right
I’m just telling you why we must fight
To stop the endless suffering
To keep our voices from muffling
These are the reasons we must fight
We don’t care if it’s day or night
Someone’s got to do it
Oh, but we’ll get through it
Because if not me and not you, who?
If not now and if not then, when?
Victory will be swift and sweet
As we sing of our win through our teeth
We shall go and conquer all
And bring evil to a fall
To put malice and hate underground
So love and harmony is safe and sound
We know it’s a lot to ask
No one said it was an easy task
But, someone’s got to do them
So if not me and if not you, who?
And if not now and if not then, when?
