So 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 please come to chicago

For the help that we can bring

We can change the world rearrange the world

It's dying to get better

Politicians sit yourselves 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 rearrange rearrange the world

It's dying if you believe in justice

It's dying if you believe in freedom

It's dying let a man live his 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 of 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 rearrange rearrange the world

It's dying if you believe in justice

It's dying if you believe in freedom

It's dying let a man live his own life

It's dying rules and regulations

Who needs them open up the door

We can change the world we can change

We can change the world we can change

We can change the world yes we can change

We can change the world we can change

We can change the world we can change the world

We can change the world we can change
