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 a 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
|
Oh yes I wonder
|
'Bout what would happen
|
What would happen to this world
|
Well I wonder what would happen to this world
|
|
As I look around us
|
There's such strange things
|
There's muggers and there's jugglers
|
And we are led 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
|
|
Disciple children walk the streets
|
Selling books and flowers
|
Can they be last ones
|
With a semblance of a dream
|
If we say that no one's out there
|
And we say we're goin' nowhere
|
And we avoid the question
|
Is this all that it means?
|
|
Oh if a man tried
|
To take his time on earth
|
And prove before he died
|
What one man's life could be worth
|
I wonder what would happen to this world
|
|
