[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
While the city sleeps
Men are scheming
New ways to kill us
And tell us dirty lies

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
While the city sleeps
Earth is crumbling
Everyone's talking
And doing not a thing

[Verse 3: Robert Lamm]
While the city sleeps
Men are dreaming
A world enlightened
Beyond this darkest age
