I Wonder What Would Happen To This World
Harry Chapin
(capo 1st fret) Oh well I wonder... Yes I wonder... What would happen.... What would happen to this world... Well I wonder what would happen to this world... Now if a man tried to take his time on earth And prove before he died what one man’s life could be worth Well I wonder what would happen to this world And if a woman she used her life line As something more than some man’s servant mother wife time Well I wonder what would happen to this world Oh well I wonder... Yes I wonder... What would happen.... What would happen to this world... Well I wonder what would happen to this world... As I look around me there’s some strange things There’s muggers and there’s jugglers We are lead by clowns If an answer ever found us Would we change things? Or are we just a people rotten ready for the ground And if our future lies on the final line Are we brave enough to see the signals and the signs I wonder what would happen to this world We see the people we see them marchin’ down Do we join the parade or do we try and turn around Well I wonder what would happen to this world Oh well I wonder... Yes I wonder... What would happen.... What would happen to this world... Well I wonder what would happen to this world... Disciple children walk the streets Selling books and flowers Can they be the last ones with a semblance of a dream If we say that no one’s out there And we say we’re goin’ no where Can we avoid the question "Is this all that it means?" Now if a man tried to take his time on earth And prove before he died what one man’s life could be worth Well I wonder what would happen to this world Oh well I wonder... Yes I wonder.. What would happen.... What would happen to this world... Well I wonder what would happen to this world... Yes I wonder what would happen to this world
