"Poem For The People" lyrics

Chicago Lyrics

"Poem For The People"

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

The world's a funny place, you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny
At all

Could the people understand?
In all their whispered screams
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend?
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel

The world's a funny place, you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny
At all
