Chicago
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
