Though your brother's bound and gagged

And they've chained him to a chair

Won't you please come to Chicago

Just to sing



In a land that's known as freedom

How can such a thing be fair

Won't you plaese come to Chicago

For the help we can bring



We can change the world -

Re-arrange the world

It's dying - to get better



Politicians sit yourself down,

There's nothing for you here

Won't you please come to Chicago

For a ride



Don't ask Jack to help you

Cause he'll turn the other ear

Won't you please come to Chicago

Or else join the other side



We can change the world -

Re-arrange the world

It's dying - if you believe in justice

It's dying - and if you believe in freedom

It's dying - let a man live it's own life

It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them

Open up the door



Somehow people must be free

I hope the day comes soon

Won't you please come to Chicago

Show your face



From the bottom to the ocean

To the mountains of the moon

Won't you please come to Chicago

No one else can take your place



We can change the world - (Yes we can change the world)

Re-arrange the world

It's dying - if you believe in justice

It's dying - and if you believe in freedom

It's dying - let a man live it's own life

It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them

Open up the door



We can change the world

We can change the world

You can cange the world
