Harry Chapin - I Wonder What Would Happen to This World lyrics

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 TIME 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
