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