Wake Up My People

Repp first recorded this song on his 1967 LP "Come Alive" on FEL Records.

Wake up my people, wake up & give a shout
Wake up my people, know what life's about and 
Wake up to the needs of all the ones who suffer sorrows
Wake up promise now to do your best to change tomorrow
Wake up my people & open every door
Wake it's time now, love my people evermore
G C G D / G Bm CG CD / G Bm C D /  / G C G D / G Bm CG CD G - 

All across the nation, people are waiting
Hungry people starving, waiting hopefully
Wake up to my people, share your table with them
As often as you do these things you do the same for me
G Bm C D (4x)

Even in our cities, people are waiting
People who are lonely, waiting hopefully
Wake up to my people, listen to their story
As often as you do these things you do the same for me
Even in our families, people are waiting
Someone might be crying, waiting hopefully
Wake up to my people, dry their tears of sorrow
As often as you do these things you do the same for me
