Somebody told me to deliver this message, 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
In this world He gave us

It's about time that we submit to the master 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 pass it on, pass it to you
(Somebody told me to deliver this message
And I'm sure you know who, you know who

You see, she's a child who's dying of hunger
And another man that's been 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 that we submit to the masters 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, brand new day, brand new, brand new
(Somebody told me to deliver this message)
Even 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
When I was about ten years old

If you read in Proverbs 25:13
You'd see where it says
As the cold of the snow in the time of harvest
So is a faithful messenger
For he refresheth the soul of his masters
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
