Wake Up Everybody
John Legend & The Roots Lyrics

Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
Stop being complacent and start taking action towards making the world a better place.

No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
It's time to start focusing on the future and making decisions that will have a positive impact.

The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
The state of the world is different from what it was in the past, and there are many new challenges that need to be addressed.

There is so much hatred war an' poverty
The world is plagued with issues such as hate, conflict, and poverty that need to be addressed.

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Educators have the power to instill values and inspire change in the next generation.

Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
If children are taught to value the right things, they will be more receptive to ideas that promote positive change.

'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
The youth are the future, and it is up to them to create a better world.

When you teach the children teach em the very best you can
Teachers need to give their all in educating the next generation to ensure they have the tools necessary to make a difference.

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
Sitting back and doing nothing will not lead to any improvement in the world's issues.

The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
It's up to individuals to take responsibility and make the changes necessary to create a better world.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
Medical professionals should do their best to improve their patients' quality of life.

They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
Elderly individuals tend to face some of the most difficult challenges in life, and it is important to address their needs with care and respect.

But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
Life is fleeting, and it is important to do what we can to help those who are in need.

So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away
We should strive to improve the lives of others and bring them happiness while we can.

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
Individuals with the skills to build should use them to create a better future for all.

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
Working together and supporting one another is the key to achieving progress and success.

The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
The decision to take action towards making the world a better place starts with each individual's mindset.

Surely things will work out they do it every time
Positive change is possible if we put in the effort and work together as a community.

Change it yeah, change it yeah, just you and me
It is up to each individual to take action towards making the world a better place - no one else can do it for us.

Can't do it alone, need some help y'all
We need to work together and support one another if we want to bring about change in the world.

Wake up everybody, wake up everybody
It's time for everyone to take action towards improving the world.

Need a little help y'all, need a little help
No one can do it all on their own - we all need a little bit of help sometimes.

Get up , get up, get up, get up
It's time to start taking action towards making the world a better place.

Wake up, come on, come on
Don't be complacent - it's time to start taking action towards the future.

Wake up everybody
It's time for everyone to wake up and start working towards making the world a better place.
