1
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
2
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
3
The world has changed so very much
4
From what it used to be
5
There is so much hatred war and poverty
6
Oh yeah
7
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
8
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
9
Cause they're the ones who's coming up
10
And the world is in their hands
11
When you teach the children
12
Teach 'em the very best you can
13
Oh yeah
14
[Chorus]
15
The world won't get no better
16
If we just let it be
17
The world won't get no better
18
We gotta change it yeah,
19
Just you and me.
20
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
21
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
22
But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
23
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
24
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
25
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
26
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
27
Surely things will work out cause they do every time.
28
The world won't get no better
29
If we just let it be
30
The world won't get no better
31
We gotta change it yeah,
32
Just you and me.
33
Yeah, yeah
34
It's the God hour
35
The morning I wake up
36
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker
37
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
38
My mom buidin' on skyscrapers and acres
39
He said take us back to where we belong
40
I try to write a song
41
As sweet as the Psalms
42
Though I'm the type to bare arms
43
And wear my heart on my sleeve
44
Even when I fell in God I believe
45
Read the days that weave through the maze
46
The seasons so amazing
47
Feed them and raised them
48
Seasons are aging
49
Earthquakes, wars, and rumors
50
I want us to get by but
51
We're more than consumers
52
We more than shooters, more than looters
53
Created in this image so God live through us
54
And even in this generation, living through computers
55
Only love love love can reboot us
56
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
57
Wake up, everybody
58
Need a little help,
59
Can't do it alone
60
Need a little help y'all
61
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
62
Need a little help, y'all
63
Can't do it alone
64
Need a little help, y'all
65
Can't do it alone
66
Oh, wake up everybody
67
Wake up everybody
68
Wake up everybody
