The world won't get no better...

Needing something hopeful and stumbled on this classic, hope all doing as well as they can.

"Wake Up Everybody"
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes ft. Teddy Pendergrass

Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead

The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so

there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
When you teach the children teach 'em 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 gotta change it yeah, just you and me

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away
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 they do it every time.

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me

how many mornings since 1975 that I have woke up with that song running through my head. Probably most of them.
