Poem for the People

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]

If the people only knew

If they could visualize

Just open their eyes

Even stop to think about

If they could open their minds

They could get beyond

[Chorus: All]

The world's a funny place, you know

Most of what goes on

Is rarely funny

Rarely funny

At all

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]

Could the people understand?

In all their whispered screams

And colorless dreams

Could they finally comprehend?

If they could suddenly see

And suddenly feel

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: All]

The world's a funny place, you know

Most of what goes on

Is rarely funny

Rarely funny

At all
