Wake Up Everybody Lyrics - Wake Up! - John Legend & The Roots

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 what'cha 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 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better 

If we just let it be, oh no, 

The world won't get no better 

We gotta change it, 

Just you and me 

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 the Judgment Day 

So wont'cha make them happy 

Before they pass away, oh ya 

Wake up, all the builders 

Have to build a new land 

I know we can do it 

If we all lend a hand 

Photos 

The only thing we have to do 

Is put it in our mind 

Surely things will work out 

They do it every time 

The world won't get no better 

If we just let it be 

The world won't get no better 

We gotta change it, 

Just you and me 

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 builded 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 am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve 

Even when I fell in God I believe 

We the days at 

Weave through the maze and the season so amazing 

Feed them and raise them 

Seasons are asian 

Earthquakes, wars and rumors 

I want us to get by but we more then consumers 

We more than shooters 

More than looters, 

Created in his image, 

So God live through us, 

And even in his generation living through computers 

On love, love, love can reboot us 

Wake up, everybody 

No more sleepin' in bed 

Wake up, everybody 

Need a little help, y'all 

Yes I do, need a little help 

Need a little help, y'all ay 

Need a little help, y'all ay 

Need a little help, y'all ay 

Wake up everybody 

Wake up everybody 

Wake up everybody
