Robert Lamm - Poem for the People lyrics

[Verse 1] 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] The world's a funny place, you know Most of what goes on Is rarely funny Rarely funny At all [Verse 2] 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] The world's a funny place, you know Most of what goes on Is rarely funny Rarely funny At all
