Wake Up Everybody

Wake up everybody
No more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking
Time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There's so much hatred, war and poverty

Wake up all you teachers
Try to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To what you have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
The world is in their hands
So when you teach the children
Teach them the very best you can

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
'Til we trust the Lord, you and me
(Wake up everybody)

Wake up all you preachers
Gotta make sure they hear
The message of the Gospel
'Cause the end is so near
Don't wait to fill your churches
Gotta take it to the street
'Cause the ones that don't know Jesus
Are the ones we need to reach, oh, yeah

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
'Til we trust the Lord, you and me

I said, wake up everybody
Come on, wake up everybody
I said, wake up everybody
Gotta learn to trust the man
Who's got the whole world in his hands
Come on and wake up, everybody
Everybody, everybody
It's time to wake up, everybody
