Movin' In

James Pankow

We know it's hard for you to see That this is all we want to be A constant urge within us grows We know it To do the thing that we propose We know it We tried so hard to make the grade Yes we know it By making music day to day Yes we know it Although our task is never done You know we know it You ought to know it's just begun You know we know it And now it's time for us to say But most of all we like to play A song or two that makes you feel We know it Like all the good in you is real We know it Together now we've lots to hear Yes we know it To warm my heart to shed a tear Yes we know it So come and listen if you choose You know we know it And feel a joy you'll never lose You know we know it So everybody listen Yeah Everybody please give a listen

The Road

Terry Kath

If you'd like to get together Then come right over to me Ooh, We can do anything That you like to do If you'd like to give your love Then please just feel free Because I may be gone tomorrow And not even know your name Now please don't misunderstand my lonliness Let's never ever talk of time Cause friends may fade away And our hopes will say goodnight And our friendship would be lost It would be such a waste of time So let's just Let's have a good thing girl And let's not worry Let's do everything we want And let's not cry When it's over When I leave Our thing won't die If you really understand Then come right over to me We can play together for a while And still be free

Poem For The People

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 The world's a funny place you know Most of what goes on Is rarely funny Rarely funny Could the people understand In only whisper and 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

In The Country

Terry Kath

Oh my reasons And my ways Keep on changing From day to day As I grow It becomes so clear Why I'm here It's all here for you and me The beauty of life Someday you'll see Then you'll join in And sing along And you'll understand why I sing this song Let me tell you now I do love you I do love you I do love you Well I'm talkin' bout life And livin' And the beautiful earth And givin' Talkin 'bout the natural things we've had since birth That's lovin' Well I'm talkin' 'bout a walk in the country 'Bout an angel's sweet charm The smell of her perfume And they both comin' on Let me tell you now I do love you I do love you I do love you Well it's a beautiful day And I'm on my way Oooh, thank you lord, for the country Well my thoughts Are like ripples in a stream I see myself so free My eyes and spirit say hello My soul goes dancing by, oh hello The clean fresh air Goes jumping through my head The sun is smilin' down If you have ever lived out here Then you know why I say I do love you I do love you I do love you So come on let's move Out to the country Yeah, let's go live out there Let's get funky Come on people Come on people Yeah, let's be free We got to be free In the country You and me Come on people Come on people Better have a good time (background: oh baby, good) We'll have a good time (background: let's give 'em life (?) We got to be free (background: come on now)

Wake Up Sunshine

Robert Lamm

Wake up sunshine Open up your sleepy eyes for me Can't have you hidin' I've been waiting all the night People waiting for the light Sunshine, sunshine Wake up sunshine Let me feel your warm sunlight on me Can't have you hidin' Night was long and night was cold But today we're one day older Sunshine, you make my life sunshine You know I'm talkin' to you I know you're knowin' it too So just stop hidin' your face Just open your eyes Just smile your smile I'm talkin' to you Wake up sunshine Ooh it's good to have you here with me Can't have you hidin' Can't imagine what I'd do But feel too lonely without you Sunshine, sunshine You got to wake up girl And face the day ahead

Make Me Smile

James Pankow

Children play in the park, they don't know I'm alone in the dark, even though Time and time again I see your face smiling inside I'm so happy That you love me Life is lovely When you're near me Tell me you will stay Make me smile Living life is just a game so they say All the games we used to play fade away We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together Tell me you will stay. Make me smile

So Much To Say - So Much To Give

James Pankow

So hard to be Free to Love only you People Starin' at me Try to Take you away There's no Time to delay We've got to live for today I've got So much to give There is So much to say Night after night Day after day In spite of our words They all turn away

Colour My World

James Pankow

Fancy Colours

Robert Lamm

Going where the orange sun has never died And your swirling marble eyes shine Laughing Burning through the light Bittersweet the drops of life Memories only fading Fancy Colours Fancy Colours All we ever did see When we're down at the sea We see things so very bright at the sea Fancy Colours Fancy Colours All we ever can do The morning covered with dew We do things so very fine at the dew Fancy Colours Fancy Colours All we ever do hear The world wether we're hear or there We hear things so very fine when we're there

25 Or 6 To 4

Robert Lamm

Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up, I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor Twenty five or six to four Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wond'ring how much I can take Should I try to do some more Twenty five or six to four Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Twenty five or six to four

Memories Of Love

Terry Kath

A Warm summer night The moon above us The stars for a wish come true Are memories of love A motionless pound A beautiful swan The smell of flowers growing near Make me shed a tear Memories of Love gone by Make me stop and cry Now I kneel and pray For the lord took her today And all that's left to think of Are memories of her love

It Better End Soon - 1. Movement

Robert Lamm

Can't stand it no more The people dying Crying for help for so many years But nobody hears Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend. Can't take it no more The people hating Hurting their brothers They don't understand They can't understand Better end soon my friend It better end soon.

It Better End Soon - 3. Movement

Robert Lamm/Terry Kath

Hey, everybody Won't you just look around Can't anybody see? Just what's going down Can't you take the time? Just to feel Just to feel what is rea If you do Then you'll see that we got a raw deal They're killing everybody I wish it weren't true They say we got to make war Or the economy will fall But if we don't stop We won't be around no more They're ruining this world For you and me The big heads of state Won't let us be free They made the rules once But it didn't work out Now we must try again Before they kill us off No more dying! No more killing No more dying No more fighting We don't want to die No, we don't want to die Please let's change it all Please let's make it all Good for the present And better for the future Let's just love one another Let's show peace for each other We can make it happen Let's just make it happen We can change this world Please let's change this world Please Let's make it happen for our children For our wome Change the world Please make it happen Come on. Come on. Please. Come on It's up to me It's up to you So let's do it now Yeah Do it now.

It Better End Soon - 4. Movement

Robert Lamm

Can't stand it no more The people cheating Burning each other They know it ain't right How can it be right Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend.

Where Do We Go From Here

Peter Cetera

Every day just gets a little shorter don't you think Take a look around you, and you'll see just what I mean People got to come together, not just out of fear Where do we go Where do we go Where do we go from here? Try to find a better place, but soon it's all the same What once you thought was a paradise is not just what it seems The more I look around i find, the more I have to fear Where do we go Where do we go Where do we go from here? I know it's hard for you to Change your way of life I know it's hard for you to do The world is full of people Dying to be free So if you don't my friend There's no life for you, no world for me Let's all get together soon, before it is too late Forget about the past and let your feelings fade away If you do I'm sure you'll see the end is not that near Where do we go Where do we go Where do we go from here?
