Written by :Victor Carstarphen/Gene McFadden/John Whitehead
John Legend :
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 is so much hatred war and poverty
Oh oh oh yeah yeah
Melanie Fiona :
Wake up all the teachers time 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 and the world is in their hands
When you teach the children teach them the very best you can
Oh yeah
John Legend/Melanie Fiona :
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
Oh no
The world won't get no better
You gotta change it yeah just you and me
John Legend :
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 their Judgment Day
So won't you make them happy before they pass away
Oh yeah
Melanie Fiona :
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 cause they do every time
Yeah yeah yeah
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
Yeah
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah just you and me
Yeah yi yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's the God hour the morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
My mind build-ed on skyscrapers and acres
He said take us back to where we belong
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms
Though I'm the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when I fell in God I believe
Breathe the days in
Weave through the maze and the season so amazing
Feed them and raise them
Seasons are aging earthquakes wars and rumors
I want us to get by but we're more then consumers
We're more than shooters more than looters
Created in his image so God live through us
And even in this generation living through computers
Only love love love can reboot us
Wake up everybody
No more sleeping in bed
Oh
Wake up everybody
Little help
Yes I do need a little help
Case you all
Oh need a little help y'all ay
Come on come on come on come on
I need a little help y'all ay
Can do all
Oh need a little help y'all ay
Oh oh oh oh
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
