[00:00.00]Wake Up Everybody (Album Version) - Thelma Houston
[00:40.46]Everybody everybody
[00:49.08]I want you to listen to me for a little bit right here
[00:53.25]I wanted you to read the newspapers this morning
[00:57.52]Or did you see the evening news
[00:59.79]As you were having dinner with your families last night
[01:03.37]Well if you did then you must know that
[01:06.00]This world is now in a whole lot of trouble
[01:09.99]But I don't want you to get discouraged by that no
[01:13.88]Because I believe that there's a solution to all of this
[01:17.45]Deep down within my soul
[01:20.55]All we have to do is
[01:21.81]Put our heads and our hearts together
[01:24.40]You gotta wake up everybody
[01:26.49]And no more sleeping in bed
[01:29.41]And no more backward thinking
[01:31.36]It's time for thinking ahead
[01:34.15]The world's changed so very much from
[01:36.70]What it used to be
[01:38.94]There's so much hatred war and poverty oh yeah
[01:50.82]Wake up all you teachers
[01:52.57]You better teach a new way
[01:55.29]Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say
[01:59.71]Because they are the ones
[02:00.84]Who's coming up and the world is in their hands
[02:04.95]When you teach the children
[02:06.83]You better teach them the very best you can
[02:13.04]The world won't get no better
[02:17.38]If you just let it be no no no no no
[02:22.32]The world won't get no better
[02:25.83]You gotta change again you and me
[02:33.39]Wake up all you doctors make the old people well
[02:37.65]Because they're the ones
[02:38.86]Who suffer a lot and catch all the hell
[02:42.63]They don't hassle very long before their judgment day
[02:47.36]Won't you make them happy before
[02:51.81]They pass away
[02:59.10]Wake up all you builders
[03:00.91]It's time to build a new land
[03:03.43]I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
[03:08.42]Only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
[03:12.77]And surely things will work out they do it every time
[03:21.52]The world won't get no better oh no
