The Commodores - Wake Up Children lyrics

Your rating:

People won't you listen
To the story I wanna tell 
About this world we're living in
I hope you listen well!
We're avoiding all the problems
And we've thrown away the truth
With brothers fighting brothers
The devils on the loose!
We've lost the word humanity
And yes, in God we trust
The things we called invincible
Have now all turned to dust!
Yeah - yeah!

I see a world that's hungry
A world that's full of fears
Reaching out for happiness
But drowning in their tears
We've polluted all the water
The food and yes the air
We're killing our great mother earth
Does anybody care?
Yeah, do you care?

Wake up children! (oh yeah)
Wake up children!

And what about the children
And the generations to come
Will they look back on our history
And curse the things we've done!
All it takes is a decision
And it's one we'll have to make
To save our world and all mankind
I hope it's not too late!
Yeah - not too late!

Wake up children! (oh yeah)
Wake up children!
I wanna talk to you this evening children
I wanna tell you a story that you need to hear
Once upon a time -
There was a happy planet
Then man came and took everything for granted
He destroyed is gift
The joy of living
And turned to greed
Instead of giving
Brother to brother - can't you hear me talking?
Sister to sister - can't you hear me talking?
Nation to nation - can't you hear me talking?
We've got to love one another!
Whoa, whoa, wake up children!
