[Abm]
[Ebm] [Abm] [Ebm]
Wake up [Abm] everybody, [Ebm] no more sleeping in [Abm] bed.
[Ebm] No more packed [Abm] with thinking, time [B] for thinking ahead.
[Ebm] The world has [Abm] changed so very [Ebm] much from what it [Abm] used to be.
[Ebm] There's so [Abm] much hatred, war and [B] poverty.
[Abm] [Gb]
Wake [Abm] [Ebm] up [Abm] all the teachers, [Ebm] time to teach a [Abm] new way.
[Ebm]
They're the [Abm] ones who are coming up, what you have to say.
[Ebm] They're the [Abm] ones who's coming up [Ebm] and the world is [Abm] in their [Ebm] hands.
When you [Abm] teach the children, [B] teach them the very best you can.
Because [Db] the world [Bbm] won't get no [Eb] better [Abm]
[Db] if we just [Gb] let it be.
[B] The [Db] world [Bbm] won't get no [Eb] better.
[B] We gotta change it, just [Gb] you and [B] me.
[Gb]
[B] [Ebm] Wake up all [Abm] the doctors, [Ebm] make the old people [Abm] well.
[Ebm]
They're the ones [Abm] who suffer and who catch all the hell.
[Ebm] [Abm] They don't have so very [Ebm] long before [Abm] their judgment day.
[Ebm] So won't you make [Abm] them happy [B] before they pass away.
[Abm] [Ebm] Wake up [Abm] all the builders, [Ebm] time to build a [Abm] new land.
[Ebm]
I know [Abm] we can do it [B] if we all lend a hand.
[Ebm] The only thing [Abm] we have to [Ebm] do is put it [Abm] in our [Ebm] mind.
Surely [Abm] things will work out, [B] they do it every time.
But the [Db]
world won't [Bbm] get no [Eb] better [B]
if [Db] we just [Gb] let it be.
[B] [Db] The world [Bbm] won't get no [Eb] better.
[B] We gotta change it, just [Gb] you and [B] me.
[Gb]
[B] [Gb] Change [B]
[Gb] it, [B] can't [Gb] do it alone.
[B] [Gb] Change it, [B]
need [Gb] a little help from y'all.
[B] Change [Gb] it.
