The Great Awaking Songtext
von The Brothers Johnson

We′re here together
So we can rap with you
And get down to the core
Let's join together
To enrich our minds
To open up some doors
Now′s the time we'll need
To find the rest of you
So you can make up your mind
Which way you turn
To make your move

So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking


There are some brothers
And some sisters
That are needed in this world
To help you discover
There are ingredients inside you
That you want
You got to find out
And tell someone else
Just like you
Time is closing in
And you can't be left
Without your walking shoes

So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking
So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking

Now′s the time to understand
Listen to the voice
From another land
Brothers hey, sisters


We′re here together
So we can rap with you
And get down to the core
Let's join together
To enrich our minds
To open up some doors
Now′s the time we'll need
To find the rest of you
So you can make up your mind
Which way you turn
To make your move

So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking
So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking

The time is now
We all can see
That we should live in harmony
I know sometimes
It′s hard for us to fake it
When time is up
You look around
See some people turn around
I know you'll get back
On your feet to make it

So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking
So get ready
Ready for the great awaking
Keep steady
Try to get your life shaking

Repeat the last verse and fade.
