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
