Rodney Jerkins - Wake Up Everybody lyrics

[Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes + Teddy Pendergra**] 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 [Ryan: Alexandra] Wake up, all the teachers Time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen To what'cha have to say [Ryan: Alexandra] '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 [Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes & Teddy Pendergra**+(Alexandra)] 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) [Sean Cross] Wake up everybody And look at the storm comin' Blood in the streets And the tears in my eyes runnin' [Sean Cross] Recognize who I am Release 'em out the can Never was an animal or three fourths of a man They set this up for peacefully [Sean Cross] Wasn't in God's plan If we all created equally Why these officers beatin' me? Divided as a people [Sean Cross] Then all we need is some unity A unified front and then we build our community Put our pennies together And put an end to poverty And violence is not the answer War's worser than cancer But peace can never come With frustration and anger A nation that's divided Well that's a nation in danger [Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes+ Teddy Pendergra**] 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
