Inspiration Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bedNo more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' aheadThe world has changed so very muchFrom what it used to beThere is so much hatred war an' poverty Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new wayMaybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their handsWhen you teach the children teach em the very best you can The world won't get no better if we just let it beThe world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me Written by John Whitehead, Gene McFadden &Victor Carstarphen, 1975
