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
