Wake Up Everybody

Lyricist:Victor Carstarphen, Gene Mcfadden, John Whitehead

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, oh 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're the ones who's comin' 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
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yet just you and me

Wake up all the doctors
Make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer
And catch all the hell

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
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yet just you and me

It's the God hour, the morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life, I think my maker
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
My mom buildin' 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 fail in God, I believe

Read the days, weave through the maze and the seeds are so amazing
Feed them and raise them, seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars, and rumors
I want us to get by but we more than consumers

We more than shooters, more than looters
Created in this image so God live through us
And even in this generation livin' through computers
Only love, love, love can reboot us, come on

Oh, wake up everybody
No more sleepin' in bed
Oh, wake up everybody
Yeah

I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
Oh, 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
Oh, I need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone

Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
