Lyrics
(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
