If Not Now

If not now, tell me when

If not now, tell me when.

We may never see this moment

Or place in time again

If not now, if not now, tell me when.

I see sorrow and trouble in this land

I see sorrow and trouble in this land

Although there will be struggle we'll make the change we can.

If not now, tell me when.

I may never see the promised land.

I may never see the promised land.

And yet we'll take the journey

And walk it hand in hand

If not now, tell me when.

So we'll work it 'til it's done

Every daughter every son,

Every soul that ever longed for something better,

Something brighter.

It will take a change of heart for this to mend.

It will take a change of heart for this to mend.

But miracles do happen every shining now and then

If not now, tell me when?

If not now,

Tell me when.

But miracles do happen every shining now and then.

If not now tell me when.

If not now tell me when.

If not now tell me when.
