Wake Up Everybody

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes

Wake Up EverybodyHarold Melvin Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bedNo more backward thinkin time for thinkin aheadThe world has changed so very muchFrom what it used to be sothere is so much hatred war an' povertyWake up all the teachers time to teach a new wayMaybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to sayCause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their handswhen you teach the children teach em the very best you can. ChorusThe world won't get no better if we just let it beThe world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people wellThey're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hellBut they don't have so very long before the Judgement DaySo won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.Wake up all the builders time to build a new landI know we can do it if we all lend a handThe only thing we have to do is put it in our mindSurely things will work out they do it every time. Repeat Chorus.
