Wake Up Everybody
(Real)
Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
There is so much hatred, war, and poverty, oh-oh, yeah-yeah
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then, they'll listen to what you have to say
'Cause they are 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, won't you 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 minds
Surely, things will work out 'cause they do every time, yeah
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, oh-oh-oh
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me
Hey-hey, 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 mom building 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'm the type to bear arms
And wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when I fell in God, I believed
Read the days that weave through the maze
And the seasons so amazing, feed them and raise them
Seasons are ageing, earthquakes, wars, and rumours
I want us to get by, but we're more than consumers
We're more than shooters, more than looters
Created in this image, so God live through us
And even in this generation, living through computers
Only love, love, love can reboot us, think about it
Oh, wake up, everybody, no more sleeping in bed
Oh, wake up, everybody, yeah
Because I need a little help
I can't do it alone
We all need a little help, y'all
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
Oh (wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed)
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
There is so much hatred, war, and poverty, oh-oh, yeah-yeah
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way

Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
