Act Now
 
There are people far away
Who need our help every day
Don't say someone else will do
Just let your help come shining through.
 
Do what you can do
Give what you can give
Make one for sure
Do it, do it today.
 
It's no good saying "What a shame"
When you can see them in so much pain
You can't just let it pass you by
When you have seen somebody die.
 
Act now while your heads are reeling
Act now - there's no time to waste
Act now - show them what we're feeling
Act now for the human race.
 
I know it's hard for us to give
It's twice as hard for them to live
There's not a lot that we can do
And what we do must not fall through.
 
Do what you can do
Give what you can give
Make one thing for sure
Do it, do it today.
 
Act now while your heads are reeling
Act now - there's no time to waste
Act now - show them what we're feeling
Act now for the human race.
 
Words and music by Martin John Burton - 1985.
