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 you 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 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
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 with history and all the stories to tell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
So won't you make them happy before they pass away

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah,
Just you and me
Just you and me
Aw you and me

Ok
Look
It's the God hour
The morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life I thank my mother
A strong black woman I give thanks to my maker
My mind buidin' 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 come from a place that don't want us to succeed
Even as a little black boy I still believe
Read the days that weave through the maze
And the seasons so amazing
Feed them and raised them
Seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars, and rumors
I want us to get by but we're more than consumers
We more than shooters, more than looters
Created in this image so He lives through us
And even in this generation, living through computers
Only love love love can reboot us, come on

Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
Wake up, everybody
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
Wake up, everybody
