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 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 full of fears Reaching out for happiness For drowning in their tears We've polluted all the waters The food and, yes, the air We're killing our great mother earth Does anybody care Yeah, do you care Ooh, yeah 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, ooh, yeah Wake up, children I wanna talk to you this evening, children (Wake up, children) I wanna tell you a story that you need to hear (Wake up, children) Yeah, brother to brother, can't you hear me talking (Wake up, children) Sister to sister, can't you hear me talking (Wake up, children) Nation to nation, can't you hear me talking (Wake up, children) Yeah, we've got to love one another...
