Day 76: Wake Up Everybody


Wake Up Everybody

John Legend and the Roots
Released September 10, 2010


Watch the video below:

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, whoa, oh.


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, na, na, na.

The world won't get no better

We gotta change it, yeah,

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.

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, 'cause they do every time.

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 changing,
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, wake up, everybody
Need a little help, y'all, yes I do, need a little help.
Need a little help, y'all ay, wake up everybody,
Wake up everybody, wake up everybody.


Day 76. Dollar 76. Pound 76. Good morning! May God awaken in you a new day - a new HOPE - for making this world a better place!
