I Don’t Know What This World Is Coming To Lyrics

[Intro]
Brothers and sisters (Soul Children)
Brothers and sisters, I don't know what this world is coming to
The Soul Children

[Spoken]
Bring it on out
Ladies and gentlemens
We are the Soul Children (Oh yeah)
Huh, and we came all the way from Memphis, Tennessee (Oh yeah)
Huh, and we want you to move with the spirit
And another thing we want you to do (Oh yeah)
Clap your hands with the spirit
Look, come on, come on
Let's get together (Come on spirit)
Come on spirit, come on spirit (Oh Lord)

[Verse 1]
Superstition and protest is pitting brother against brother (Oh yeah)
Humans, our delinquency is pitting child against mother
Man is an awful hurry, ah, to get up on into space (Oh Lord)
They're building mighty weapons to kill off the human race

[Chorus]
But I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)
I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)
[Spoken]
Oh Lord now help me out
Oh Jesus, I'm calling on ya
Oh Lord, oh Jesus, oh Lord Jesus
Lord help me this evening

[Verse 2]
Race and discrimination, talking about brother love (Yeah)
We got a lot of changes to make in the kingdom above

[Chorus]
I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)
I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)
I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)
I don't know
(I don't know what this world is coming to)

[Interlude]
I don't know, no no
Oh, I don't know
I can't tell, oh Lord
Oh no, I don't know (I don't know)
We need Jesus (Yes we do)
In your heart (Oh yes now)
You need Jesus in your heart, oh yeah (Let's stick together)
[Break]
We need Jesus (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
Help me Jesus (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
We need Jesus (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
Oh yeah (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
I don't know (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
What this world is coming to (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
I don't know (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)
Lookie here (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord)

[Spoken]
Brothers and sisters, you better get together
You got to get together
We got to work together
Now when we ask you to move
All you got to do is move (Help me)
You can groove in the stands (Help me, help me)
You can groove in the stands (Help me, help me)
But you know (Oh yeah)
I'm gonna tell you
You need Jesus in your heart (Yes you do, uh huh)
You need Jesus in your heart (Moving, moving moving)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

[Break]
My Jesus, I'm calling you (Or Lord)
We need you (Help me Jesus)
We need you today (Yes we do)
We need you (Get together)
We need you today (Gonna get us together)
Gonna move for Jesus (Oh, do it)
Gonna move for Jesus (Oh yeah)
Gonna move for Jesus (Clap your hands)
Gonna move for Jesus (Oh, yeah yeah)
