I turn the TV on
Can’t stand what’s goin’ wrong
So many people lost and they’re trying to find their way back home
What’s going on cause we need solutions must wake up cause we’re so confused

We got kids selling drugs
Girls needing love
Always want more cause
There’s never enough

(Chorus One)
This is a critical emergency so get up
We gotta come together
Cause our brothers and sisters are in desperate need so get up
Shine the light and get up
Don’t ever give up

We all have said it but we just don’t get it people keep hurting

And we choose to forget it if you really want it lets do something about it cause you are the future and the future is now

(Chorus Two)
This is a critical emergency (get up) don't wait don't hesitate
Cause our brothers and sisters are in desperate need (so get up)
Shine the light and get up
Don’t ever give up

(Bridge)
Father show us how to love
There’s a world that needs your touch
Lead us to the river of new life
