Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff - Wake Up Everybody (From "Life") lyrics

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, whoa, oh Wake up, all the teachers Time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen To what'cha have to say 'Cause they're the ones who's coming up And 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, na, na, na 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 But they don't have so very long Before the Judgment Day So won't'cha make them happy Before they pa** 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 minds Surely things will work out They do it every time The world won't get no better If we just let it be, na, na, na The world won't get no better We gotta change it, yeah Just you and me Change it, yeah Change it, yeah Just you and me Change it, yeah Change it, yeah Can't do it alone Can't do it alone Need some help, y'all Can't do it alone Can't do it alone, yeah, yeah Wake up, everybody Wake up, everybody
