This is a critical emergency
What's goin' on, what's goin' on
'Cause our brothers and sisters
So get up, shine the light, get up
Don’t ever give up
What’s goin' on, 'cause we need solutions
Don't wait, don't hesitate
We all have said it but some just don’t get it
So many people lost and they’re tryin'
To find their way back home
What are we doin'? What are we doin'?
What are we doin'? What are we doin'?
Can anybody tell me what's goin' on
What are we doin'? What are we doin'?
This is a critical emergency
Get up, we got to come together
Get up, we got to come together
What are we doin'? What are we doin'?
So get up, shine the light and get up
Are in desperate need
Can anybody tell me what's goin' on
Don’t you let them give up
Get up, we got to come together
'Cause you are the future and the future is now
Always want more 'cause there’s never enough
Are in desperate need, so get up
People keep hurtin' and we choose to forget it
Don’t ever give up
We got kids sellin' drugs, girls needin' love
Shine the light and get up
Don't wait, don't you hesitate
Don't wait, don't you hesitate
What's goin' on
Oh, can't you see that?
This is a critical emergency
'Cause our brothers and sisters
Don’t you let them give up
Are in desperate need
Are in desperate need
What are we doin' here?
What are we doin' here?
'Cause our brothers and sisters
Lead us to the river of new life, yeah
If you really want it, let's do somethin' about it
Oh, can't you see that?
Brothers and sisters
So get up, shine the light and get up
Are in desperate need, so get up
This is a critical emergency
Everybody, this is a critical emergency
Get up, don't wait, don't hesitate
Must wake up 'cause we’re so confused
There’s a world that needs Your touch
What are we doin' here? Tell me
'Cause our brothers and sisters
What are we doin'?
Father, show us how to love
Shine the light and get up
