Sonia - Wake Up Everybody Lyrics

(McFadden / Whitehead / Carstarphen)

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
Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say
They're the ones who are comin' up, the world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me

Wake up all the doctors, make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer and catch all hell
They don't have so very long before their Judgement Day
Won't you make them happy before they pass away
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 mind
Surely things will work out, they do it every time

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me

We gotta change the world, change the world
Change it now, change it now

I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
I need a little help, yeah, oh, I need a little help

Wake up everybody, everybody
Wake up, wake up

Come on, I said wake up everybody, everybody
Wake up everybody
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
I need a little help, yeah, I need a little help, yeah
