[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] Wake up, [Ebm] wake up.
_ _ _ [Abm] You've got the [Ebm] power.
_ _ _ [Abm] You've got my people [B] in
Asia.
You gotta wake up. _
[Ebm] You _ [Abm] gotta _ _ wake [Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ up.
[Ebm] Wake up.
Wake up.
[Abm] Wake up.
_ [Ebm] _
Wake up.
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] Wake up.
[Abm] _ Wake up. _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Wake up.
Wake up.
_ _ [Ebm] _
Wake up _ [Abm] everybody.
No [Ebm] more sleeping in [Abm] _ _ [Ebm] bed.
No more [B] backwards thinking.
Time [Gb] for thinking _ [B] ahead.
_ [Ebm]
The world has changed [Abm] so very much [Ebm] from what it used [Abm] to be. _
[Ebm] _ There's so [Abm] much hatred, [B] _
_ war [Ebm] and vomiting. _ _ _
_ Wake up [B] all the teachers.
[Ebm] Time to change a new [Abm] _ way.
[Ebm] _
_ Maybe then [B] they'll listen to [Ebm] what you have [Abm] to _ [Ebm] say.
Is there everyone [Abm] who's coming?
No.
[Ebm] The world is in [Abm] their _ hands.
[Ebm] When you teach [B] the children, you tell them the better ones do.
_ [Ebm] Can you scream peace?
Do we [Abm] mean it?
Can you feel [Ebm] it when we scream it out loud?
[B] Do you believe that we [Ebm] need it?
Do you believe [B] that it could get right?
Do you [Ebm] believe that the [B] children of the world deserve a good [Ebm] life?
Well, if you do, [Abm] it's time to wake up your mind.
We [Gb] can make it better.
And [Abm] I know it might take some time, [Ebm] but we got to start [B] somewhere.
How about with you and me?
From us it goes [Gb] to others.
Then we'll have our [Ebm] unity.
_ All [Abm] the doctors [Ebm] make the old [Abm] people _ well.
[Ebm] _ They're the ones [Abm] who suffer [Ebm] and who catch all [Abm] the _ [Ebm] hell.
But they don't have [Abm] so very [Ebm] long for the [Abm] judgment _ _ day.
[Gb] So I want to make [B] them _ happy.
_ Before they pass away.
_ [Ebm] _
_ Wake up [B] from the builders.
I'm [Ebm] the builder.
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ We [Abm] can do it as long [Gb] as we lend [Abm] a hand.
[Ebm] _
The only thing we [Abm] have to [Ebm] do is put it in numbers.
[Abm] _ _ _
[Ebm] And surely [B] things will work [Abm] out.
_ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] I _ came to shake up your [Abm] time.
I came to shake [Ebm] up your mind.
[Abm] Everybody's wake up call [Ebm] time.
I can't sleep.
[B] Why do the people [Ebm] wrong?
The world before they sleep.
This is real talk.
[Abm] You can't do songs.
So [Ebm] when you feel weak, these [Abm] words to keep you strong [Gb] and help make a [B] change for the better.
It's hard for one to do it, but we can make some change. _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Yeah.
[Gb] Let _ _ _ me _ [B] _ be.
_ [Dbm] _ _ [Abm] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] I'm going to change. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Better. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
For _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Abm] the plan up here, you got [Ebm] to stand up here and give [Abm] thanks to the man [Gb] upstairs.
But the egos and the [Abm] pride to the side [Gb] regardless.
Just be [Abm] role models.
[Ebm] Parents are.
We can make it.
[Abm] We can make it the hardest.
[Ebm] You won't make a [Abm] baby.
You should make them the smartest.
[Ebm] Let them know [Abm] good and bad right from wrong.
[Ebm] How to roll with the [Abm] punches when life moves on.
[Ebm] Stress.
_ [Abm] So if you don't see it, [Ebm] the world won't get [Abm] better.
We don't let [Ebm] it.
The negative [Abm] energy.
Right.
Keep [B] hope alive.
It's about [Ebm] time that we open our eyes.
Wake up. [Abm] Everybody. _ _

Yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ We are best.
I don't care [Eb] about the guns.
You told me.
Listen to me.
Like you listen to.
And _ _
[Ebm] no time for the second guess.
The words I speak.
_ _ [B] Once you sleep in the [Gb] leadership's picture.
_ [Abm] _ _ [Ebm] He's.
She's.
The kids will speak.
[Abm] They don't have to worry about the [Ebm] police.
We make them whistle.
[B] Down.
Had to see her.
On his track.
_ [Gb]
Make a change here for [B] young cats.
[Ebm] _ _
_ _ You [B] _ _ got to go and get off [Ebm] your back. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] Get [Ebm] your voice.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Ebm] The power.
the people is a choice to win right love
_ _ [Abm] not _ _
[Ebm] a choice, it's a [Abm] gift that our people have [Gb]
applied for
_ _ [Ebm] _ and _ applied to wrestle over anyone's breath or
_ _ [B] _ voice to be [Gb] heard
_ take [Abm] the _ opportunity
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ your [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ responsibility [Ebm] _ _ yeah
