Somebody Told Me

Somebody Told Me - Teddy Pendergrass

Somebody told me to deliver this message

Um hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

I'm sure you know whom 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 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 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 just looking good

Yea he's wondering why that man

Hasn't need for thought for about loving 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 day 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 pass it on pass it to you

You know who

It's about time 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 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

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

When i was about 10 years old

If you read in proverbs

You'd see where it says

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest

So is a faithful messenger to them that send him

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
