We lost another legend yesterday.  Teddy Pendergrass made beautiful music that touched the hearts of many for years.  This here was one of my favorites and is especially appropriate given what’s going on in Haiti a right now.  We seem to find ways to complain about so many things that are trivial in life.  Teddy had it right when he said “Wake up Everybody”!

Lets do what we can to help these people who have been so ravaged by tragedy to build a knew land.  I know we can do it if we all lend a hand!

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.

Chorus
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 Judgement 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.

RIP Teddy Pendergrass!
