Akeelah & The Bee movie - Wake Up Everybody lyrics

rate me

Song by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes<br /><br>

Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed<br>

No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead<br>

The world has changed so very much<br>

From what it used to be so<br>

there is so much hatred war an' poverty<br>

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way<br>

Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say<br>

Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands<br>

when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

The world won't get no better if we just let it be<br>

The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.<br>

<br>

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well<br>

They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell<br>

But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day<br>

So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.<br>

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land<br>

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand<br>

The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind<br>

Surely things will work out they do it every time.<br>

<br>

Repeat Chorus<br>

<br>
