Wake up everybody no more sleeping in bed No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead The world has changed so very much from what it used to be There’s so much hatred, war and poverty. Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way Maybe then they’ll listen to what you have to say. They're the ones who are coming up and the world is in their hands. When you teach the children, teach them the very best you can. The world won’t get no better, if we just let it be. The world won’t get no better, we got to change it..yah.. just YOU and ME.
Thank you for all you do, for all the children!
