Wake up Everybody - Eric Benét

Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed

No more back with 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 oh

Ooh

Wake up all the teachers, it’s time to teach a new way

Maybe then they’ll listen to what you have to say

'Cause they’re the ones who will come to know

The world is in their hands

When you teach the children

Teach the very best you can, oh ooh

The world won’t get no better, no

If we just let it be oh oh

The world won’t get no better

We gotta change it yeah

Just you and me

Just you and me

You and me,

You and me yeah yea

Wake up all the doctors

Make the old people well

They’re the ones who suffer and who catch all the hell

They don’t have so very long before the judgment day

So won’t you make them happy

Before they pass away

Wake up all the builders

It’s time to build a new plan

I know that 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

They do it every time

Oh ooh

The world won’t get no better, no

If we just let it be, oh oh

The world won’t get no better

We gotta change it yeah

You and me gotta change it

Just you and me

Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed

No more back with 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

Wake up all the builders

It’s time to build a new plan

I know that we can do it

If we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do

Is put it in our minds

Things are gonna work out

They do it every time

'Cause I know this world

The world won’t get no better, no

If we just let it be, oh oh

The world won’t get no better

We gotta change it yeah
