Wake Up Everybody
Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin'
Time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred, war and poverty
Wake up, all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to what'cha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach them the very best you can
Oh, yeah
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, oh no
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me
Wake up, all the doctors, make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer, and who catch all the hell
(And who catch all the hell)
But they don't have so very long
Before their Judgment Day
So wont'cha make them happy
Before they pass away? Oh, yeah
Wake up, all the builders
Time to build a new land
I know we can do it
If we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do
Is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out
'Cause they do it every time, yeah
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, oh no
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me
Yea, yeah-yeah (yeah, yeah)
It's the God hour
The morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life, I thank my maker
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
My mind built on skyscrapers and acres
He said, "Take us back to where we belong"
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms
Though I am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when I fell, in God I believe
Beat the deserts
Weave through the maze and the season so amazing
Feed them and raise them
Seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars and rumors
I want us to get by but we more then consumers
We more than shooters
More than looters
Created in his image, so God live through us
And even in this generation living through computers
Only love, love, love, can reboot us, c'mon
Oh, wake up, everybody
No more sleepin' in bed
Oh, wake up, everybody
'Cause I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone (sleeping in bed)
Oh, I need a little help, y'all (wake up everybody)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
Oh, I need a little help, y'all (wake up everybody)
Can't do it alone
Ooh-ooh (wake up everybody)
(No more sleeping in bed)
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
No more backward thinkin'
Time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred, war and poverty
Wake up, all the teachers, time to teach a new way
