Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A liberdade sempre será uma espécie de grandeza do homem (se souber) usá- lá para fazer coisas brilhantes. Mas antecipo logo, ao se distanciar disso, o prazer se transforma em ameaça. Pois, a sua alegria, reside no resultado de seu trabalho.

Bom dia!☕️☘️

I tend to drift back to songs that had a meaningful statement in their lyrics that touched me when I first heard them played on the radio or saw performed on Soul Train (host Don Cornelius) or American Bandstand (host Dick Clark). I featured this song a few years ago, which was released when I was a senior in high school in 1975. While this song was written in response to what was going on in the world during that time, the lyrics remain relevant and resonate powerfully in our current day and time. I included the lyrics after the following video if you would like to follow along. Wake up! It’s long overdue. Let’s be clear, this is what being “WOKE” is all about.

Songwriters: Gene Mcfadden / John Whitehead / Victor Carstarphen – Released November 1975

Wake Up Everybody Lyrics

Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bedNo more backward thinkin time for thinkin aheadThe world has changed so very muchFrom what it used to be soThere is so much hatred war an’ poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new wayMaybe then they’ll listen to whatcha have to sayCause they’re the ones who’s coming up and the world is in their handsWhen you teach the children teach em the very best you can
