Wake Up Everybody by John Legend
Lyrics & Translation
English
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 is 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
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
The world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach them the very best you can, hey
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, whoa
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors, make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer and who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before their Judgment Day
So won't you make them happy before they pass away, oh
Wake up, all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out, cause they do it every time, hey
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, whoa
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me
It's the God hour, the morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
My mind builded on skyscrapers and acres
He said take us back to where we belong
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms
Though I am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when I fell in God I believe
We the days at
Weave through the maze and the season so amazing
Feed them and raise them
Seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars and rumors
I want us to get by but we more than consumers
We more than shooters
More than looters
Created in his image
So God live through us
And even in this generation living through computers
Only love, love, love can reboot us
Wake up everybody
no more sleeping in bed
Wake up everybody
'Cause I need a little help
Can't do it alone
I need a little help
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
I need a little help, ya'll
I can't do it alone
I need a little help, ya'll
I can't do it alone
Wake up, everybody
Wake up, everybody
Wake up, everybody

Wake Up Everybody (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Despierten todos, no más dormir en la cama
No más pensamiento retrógrado, es hora de pensar hacia adelante
El mundo ha cambiado muchísimo de lo que solía ser
Hay tanto odio, guerra y pobreza
Despierten todos los maestros, es hora de enseñar una nueva forma
Quizás entonces escuchen lo que tienes que decir
Porque ellos son los que vienen
El mundo está en sus manos
Cuando enseñes a los niños, enséñales lo mejor que puedas, hey
El mundo no mejorará
Si simplemente lo dejamos ser, whoa
El mundo no mejorará
Tenemos que cambiarlo, sí, solo tú y yo
Despierten todos los doctores, curen a los ancianos
Son ellos quienes sufren y quienes pasan por todo el infierno
Pero no les queda mucho antes de su Día del Juicio
Así que, ¿no los harás felices antes de que fallezcan, oh?
Despierten, todos los constructores, es hora de construir una nueva tierra
Sé que podemos hacerlo si todos echamos una mano
Lo único que tenemos que hacer es ponerlo en nuestra mente
Seguramente las cosas saldrán bien, porque lo hacen siempre, hey
El mundo no mejorará
Si simplemente lo dejamos ser, whoa
El mundo no mejorará
Tenemos que cambiarlo, sí, solo tú y yo
Es la hora de Dios, la mañana en que me despierto
Solo por el aliento de vida doy gracias a mi creador
Mi mamá dice que vengo de gente emprendedora y que hace cosas
Mi mente construida sobre rascacielos y acres
Él dijo llévanos de vuelta a donde pertenecemos
Intento escribir una canción tan dulce como los Salmos
Aunque soy del tipo que porta armas y lleva el corazón en la mano
Incluso cuando caí, en Dios creo
Nosotros los días en
Tejemos a través del laberinto y la estación tan asombrosa
Alimentarlos y criarlos
Las estaciones están envejeciendo
Terremotos, guerras y rumores
Quiero que salgamos adelante pero somos más que consumidores
Somos más que tiradores
Más que saqueadores
Creados a su imagen
Así que Dios vive a través de nosotros
E incluso en esta generación viviendo a través de computadoras
Solo el amor, el amor, el amor puede reiniciarnos
Despierten todos
no más dormir en la cama
Despierten todos
Porque necesito un poco de ayuda
No puedo hacerlo solo
Necesito un poco de ayuda
Vamos, vamos
Vamos, vamos
Necesito un poco de ayuda, ustedes
No puedo hacerlo solo
Necesito un poco de ayuda, ustedes
No puedo hacerlo solo
Despierten, todos
Despierten, todos
Despierten, todos
