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?
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?
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, th?n who? If not now, then when?
Too many falling far behind, shut out of th? 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
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?
