Somebody Told Me

Somebody told me to deliver this message, hmm-mm-mm

I'm sure you know who I'm talking about

You see, he sees the world is full of confusion

People not knowing who to trust, no

He's wondering why we still can't be

With this world, he gave to us

It's about time that we submit to the masters' plan

And bring all this pain and war to an end

Well, he said it's about time for a brand new day

And a brand new world to begin

Somebody told me (somebody told me to deliver this message)

And I pass it on, pass it to you (somebody told me to deliver this message)

I'm sure you know who, you know who

You see, she's a child who's dying of hunger

And another man is eating good, well

He's wondering why

That man hasn't even thought about

Helping that baby if he could

He woke me up this morning – yes, he did

And this is what he had to say

Well, he said, "Get on up; go out and tell the world

That this here is a brand new day"

He woke me up (somebody told me to deliver this message)

He said pass it on (pass it on)

(Somebody told me to deliver this message)

And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure you know who

It's about time we submit to the master plan (yes, it is)

And bring all this pain and war to an end

Well, he said it's about time for a brand new day

And a brand new world to begin

Somebody woke me up this morning and told me to tell you

(Somebody told me to deliver this message)

He said pass it on to you (somebody told me to deliver this message)

And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure you know who

(Somebody told me to deliver this message)

You see, it's a brand new day, huh, it's a brand new day

Brand new, brand new (somebody told me to deliver this message)

He gave his only-begotten son

So that you and I can live

You and i, you and i, you and I can live

Well

You see a long time ago

I was about ten years old

If you read in proverbs 25:13 (well, at night I heard a voice)

You'd see where it says

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest

So is a faithful messenger

For he refresheth the soul of his masters

Well, he said get on up, get on up

Get on up, go out and tell the world (somebody told me to deliver this message)

That the time is coming; time is coming

When the world will have to come to an end (somebody told me to deliver this message)

Ah, you better be ready; you better be ready

Ah, time waits for no one, no (somebody told me to deliver this message)

You better be ready children

You got to be ready (somebody told me to deliver this message)
