Wake Up Everybody
Roots (w/John Legend) Lyrics

Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
Stop being lazy and complacent, it's time to take action and make a difference.

No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
Stop dwelling on past mistakes and start looking towards the future to make positive changes.

The world has changed so very much
The world is constantly evolving and we can't rely on outdated ways of thinking and living.

From what it used to be
The way things used to be is not necessarily relevant or helpful to how things are now.

There is so much hatred war an' poverty
We need to acknowledge the negative aspects of society and work towards creating a better world for all.

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the next generation and need to teach progressive ideas and values.

Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
By teaching children new ways of thinking, they may be more open to positive change and listen to what we have to say.

'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
The younger generation will inherit this world and have the power to create a better future for themselves and others.

When you teach the children teach em the very best you can
It's important to give the next generation the best education and values possible to create a better world.

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
Inaction leads to no positive change, we need to be proactive in creating a better world.

We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
It's up to each individual person to take action and create a more positive world.

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
Doctors have the power to heal and make a positive difference in the lives of older people.

They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
Older people often face hardships and difficulties in life, so it's important to take care of them.

But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
Older people have limited time left on earth, so we need to make sure they are happy and fulfilled before they pass away.

So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away
We should strive to make older people happy and content during their remaining time on earth.

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
Builders have the power to physically create a better world and we need to take advantage of their skills and abilities.

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
If we all work together and help one another, we can create a better world.

The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Creating a better world starts with changing our attitudes and beliefs towards progress and positive change.

Surely things will work out they do it every time
Positive change is possible and has happened before, so we should remain optimistic and work towards it.

Can't do it alone, need some help y'all
Creating a better world requires the collective effort and support of many people.

Wake up everybody, wake up everybody
We all need to wake up to the realities of the world and take action to create positive change.

Need a little help y'all
No one can create positive change alone, we all need the help and support of others.

Change the world
We have the power to create meaningful and positive change in the world.

What it used to be
The way things used to be is not necessarily the best way for things to be now.

Can't do it alone, need some help
We need the support and collective effort of many people to create positive change in the world.

Get up , get up, get up, get up
It's time to take action and get up and start working towards creating a better world.

Wake up, come on, come on
It's time to wake up to the realities of the world and start taking action towards positive change.

Wake up everybody
We all need to wake up and take responsibility for creating a better world for ourselves and others.
