Testi musica canzoni

Written by Gene McFadden, John Whitehead and Victor Carstarphen

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
Wake up all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To watcha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who are comin' up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can

CHORUS:
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
Just you and me

Wake up all the doctors
Make the sick people well
They're the ones who suffer
Who catch all the hell
But they don't have so long
Before their judgement day
So won'tcha make them happy
Before they pass 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 mind
Surely things will work out
They do it every time

CHORUS

Wake up
Let's cure the world's disease
Wake up
Let's set our children free
Wake up
Let's feed the ones who need
Wake up
Stop cutting down our trees. . .
I need to breathe

CHORUS OUT
