If We Keep Doing Nothing

Album: Letting You In (2016)

  • The sun is set, the day is done
    We laid to rest another one
    A mother cries for her only son
    Broken-hearted
    We say a prayer, we start a fight
    Don't know which to do tonight
    'Cause either way, we end up right
    Back where we started

    No, we can't just look away
    No, we can't just stay the same
    No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
    'Cause if we keep doing nothing
    Then nothing will ever change

    Well, I know you see it on the news
    Asking which side are you gonna choose
    Well, the game is real
    So both sides lose
    No one gets anywhere at all
    And the house is burning to the ground
    While all of us just stand around
    A fight about what's bringing it down
    Pointing fingers until it falls

    No, we can't just look away
    No, we can't just stay the same
    No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
    'Cause if we keep doing nothing
    Then nothing will ever change

    Something has got to be done
    Before we lose another one

    No, we can't just look away
    No, we can't just stay the same
    No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
    'Cause if we keep doing nothing
    Then nothing will ever change
