кто если не я англ. версия

[Verse 1]
Time strips away the faces and the noise,
Life comes full circle, wondrous and strange.
In the mirror, the same tired, watchful eyes:
Who will step into the unknown in my place?

[Chorus]
If I don’t stand up for myself, who will reach out and take my hand?
If I live only for myself, then my song is worthless in the end.
Who am I then in this cold, crazy world?
A living spark that fades alone into the dark.

[Bridge]
Still, a whisper cuts through the endless blue:
If not now, then when will we wake up and live?
If not me, if not us,
Who will light the fires in the dark?

[Verse 2]
If I don’t save my life here at the edge,
Who will walk my road and bear my pain?
Who will raise my voice when I fall silent?
Who will keep alive what I still believe?

[Verse 3]
But if I live with my hand blocking out the light,
What will I leave behind when my years are gone?
The heart is not stone while its fire still burns;
So warm somebody else’s hand, not just your own.

[Chorus]
If I don’t stand up for myself, who will reach out and take my hand?
If I live only for myself, then my song is worthless in the end.
Who am I then in this cold, crazy world?
A living spark that fades alone into the dark.

[Bridge]
The sky keeps whispering through the endless blue:
If not now, then when will we wake up and live?
If not me, if not us,
Who will light the fires in the dark?

[Verse 4]
We all search for answers in the city’s hush,
Between the fear of loss and the hope of moving on.
But while a light still burns in somebody’s window,
The only dead end is a place where we’re not.

[Chorus]
If I don’t stand up for myself, who will reach out and take my hand?
If I live only for myself, then my song is worthless in the end.
Who am I then in this cold, crazy world?
A living spark that burns much brighter in the dark.

[Bridge]
The sky keeps whispering through the endless blue:
If not now, then when will we wake up and live?
If not me, if not us,
Who will light the fires in the dark?

[Finale]
When the light goes out...
Who am I then?
If not now...
Then when?
