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